After being sold by her big brother, Little Yueyao finally understood that she had nothing left to lose now … Not only had he lost his father's home, even his mother's bracelet no longer belonged to him. Brother and that old bawd signed a life-long slave contract. He took the silver that would keep him drunk for an entire night and went to spend it …
But now that she was in a situation where she wanted to cry but had no tears, she could only obediently plant flowers for the old procuress. Boiling water, cooking, and doing these menial chores in the woodshed were extremely diligent. The old procuress saw that this little girl's life was miserable. In the end, she was still considered a diligent person. She was someone who liked her …
From time to time, he would give the little girl some clothes as a reward. To let her live a better life, to dress herself up and do good deeds when she reaches adulthood, to find an ordinary family and marry her out …
But this was also strange. That Du Yueyao seemed to have some sort of magic power. Year after year, she grew taller and taller, to the point that she was especially beautiful. Her eyes were opened, and her nose was straight … It was as if she had swapped her body for a leather bag … She was like a beautiful woman …
Although Du Yueyao's life slave contract was still in the hands of the old procuress, at that time her brother only took Du Yueyao's money to be a slave. Although he really wanted Du Yueyao to be the young miss of a brothel, she didn't in the end. The reason was that Du Yueyao was too ugly, as a young miss, who would like her? Just wait for the money to be lost...
But in the end, the bawd was not a bad person. It was not because of Du Yueyao's contract, but seeing how beautiful she had become, she used this matter to coerce her to become her brothel's young miss. She brought Du Yueyao to her own room and asked her if she wanted to take some silver to marry an ordinary person.
This girl had already reached adulthood, and was already so beautiful. She had been busy in this brothel all year round, and many people had seen her. They all had a lot of ill intentions towards her. She had already become a bawd, but she did not want to hurt anyone. She wanted to give Du Yueyao a choice …
Even though she had spent many years in the brothel, her body was still innocent after all. If she were to marry now, there would definitely be people who would be willing to treat her well instead of wasting their lives …
That little Yueyue thought for a while and then said to that old bawd …
"I want to stay …"
Naturally, the old procuress could not believe that she did not cherish such a chance to return to the days of ordinary people …
Du Yueyao clearly said it again: "I want to stay, and be like those big sisters who are young ladies in a brothel …"
The old procuress could hardly believe her ears … Thinking about it, could it be that the child had been staying in the brothel for so many years that he had become a retard? Did she not understand how lowly a brothel lady was in society? In the end, it's just a toy for those rich people...
But why was the child willing to stay? Could it be that he had taken a fancy to some playboy who often came here?
Du Yueyao had her own thoughts. She had seen too many men working in the brothel, so she naturally knew that none of them could entrust their lives to her. She had never felt that the prostitute's status was as low as it could get. They relied on their own talents and bodies to eat.
She also wanted to be able to support herself. Instead of relying on a man or an older brother … No one could rely on him. After walking down this road of despair, the only one who could be trusted was himself …
The old procuress, seeing her determination, did not try to dissuade her. She was a soft-hearted person. Seeing that Du Yueyao was so beautiful and was so different from normal girls, being together with her all year round, she couldn't help but love him dearly and didn't want to make him feel wronged.
So he stopped her flower arrangement and the work in the kitchen. Let her begin to live like a prince.
Speaking of Du Yueyao's appearance, there was another special point that made people's hearts ache … Even the old procuress began to feel sorry for her. She taught her how to sit, how to walk, how to wear clothes, how to comb her hair so it was especially beautiful … These were her own experiences. She even got someone to find the famous Young Master Wan Huan and told him to ask Du Yueyao to play the good zither no matter what. In the end, this fairy-like, beautiful woman still couldn't bear to be trampled on by those stinking men. She wanted to be proficient in a technique that would allow her to have a status that was slightly different from Miss's in the brothel … At least he could get rid of some of the slights …
Zither Lady …
Although she was already very old at learning skills, she was still very intelligent. It didn't take long for her to master quite a few small notes, coupled with the training from Mr. Wan Huan, her sensitivity towards the zither music was naturally quite high.
After using another two years, she was finally taught by Young Master Wan Huan to become a zither player that could be considered a top expert amongst experts …
Du Yueyao began to put up a sign for the old procuress in the brothel, valuing her, so that she could play the zither or sing a little song. However, her fame in the Taizhou region had already skyrocketed, far surpassing that of the previous prostitute. Her fame was something that no one had ever been able to achieve before.
She didn't have any men in her sights, nor did she have any so-called support. She relied on the old procuress to make money for her, as well as for herself. Although he was still young, he knew how to make a person happy. How to make your every move pleasing to the eye... Those are almost her natural talents... However, they were previously sealed in the bones. Now, it seemed that the seal had been released, allowing the demons to be released …
There was more and more stuff in her room. People continued to bring her jewelry, gold and silver, precious beads … She couldn't even look at it …
But at night, when he lay in bed, he could hear the intermittent notes of a zither coming from outside his window. Although it wasn't very pleasing to the ear, it still made her feel particularly tormented …
The sound of the zither was extremely sorrowful. She might be lamenting about her past, or she might just be missing some heartless man …
But in the end, it was because of this that made Du Yueyao feel such sorrow … She was better off now, with money to spend and jewelry to wear. She thought that if she had grown up a little earlier and had gotten that much money, then her father wouldn't have to die from illness …
Perhaps they could even ask the best and most expensive doctor in the capital to survive until now. With her grandson around her lap, there was delicious food that she could enjoy …
Unfortunately, those were all if …
She thought of her mother. She missed the bracelet of her mother, who had accompanied her in her youth. It was a light pink, just like the warmth of apricot petals. It was as if she could smell the fragrance of apricot flowers with her eyes closed …
As a result, she began to pay special attention to the jewelry gifted to her by the rich young masters. Although it was extremely precious, it was still worthless in her heart …
What she wanted was an apricot bracelet …
I wonder who my brother pawned to all those years ago … Right now, she was willing to exchange everything she had for something else …
She began to like apricot flowers, like a mother... She always felt that the light and warm pink was her mother's color, and that the small flower was her mother's flower.
That flower had once been carefully protected and taken care of by his mother. It bloomed so beautifully. So she started to collect the flowers... Everything with apricot flowers, bracelets, earrings, oaths, clothes, all began to be collected … One by one, they filled their own boxes...
The old procuress still had some understanding towards this little girl. She was old and was not willing to open a brothel anymore, so she dismissed all the girls in her house. In the end, only Du Yueyao who refused to leave remained. However, she was very clear in her heart. How could this girl who had such an exquisite appearance be an object in the pond?
She told Du Yueyao.
"Go, there are still many beautiful places with apricot flowers in the world of Phoenix Dynasty. There are many apricot bracelets and earrings waiting for you to enjoy. "If you ever get tired of me and I'm not dead yet, come back and serve me …"
Du Yueyao bade farewell to the old procuress, and finally set foot on the road to the capital.
She had seen many more men since then, and naturally gained more insight.
The only thing that warmed her heart was the little family that her mother had once given her. How could she possibly care about those stinky young masters?
She often appeared, so she sent word out that the girl needed earrings today and a bracelet tomorrow … He left behind all the apricot flowers and gave the rest to his sisters …
Later on, she met Lan Xiao, the new bawd. That kind of free, easy and special power made her feel amazed …
For a while he had been proud but also loyal, free, and very funny, almost to the point of putting a foot in every funny thing. Thinking about it, Lan Xiao was an elegant and noble young lady who could not be married off. If she did not marry off, then she would just be guarding her father's gold mountain for the rest of her life. However, she didn't expect Lanxiao to leave home and threaten to become a bawd …
What is the bawd? Brothel Lady's mother …
She really did have enough …
However, he had been out for a long time, and he still needed a stable territory. He needed to earn money and buy all sorts of things from the apricot flowers … Wandering was not suitable for Du Yuyao; she was tired after all. Then, he proposed to become Lan Xiao's ace in the hole …
One way, two ways... Just like that, he had achieved the feat of becoming famous in the capital, and in the same kind of brothels, his Spring Brothel was like a crane amongst a flock of chickens …
As for the young master from the minister Palace … She had seen many people with this kind of manly appearance long ago. Unless they were blind, they wouldn't think highly of him...
She and Xiao Cui'er could be considered fated. No matter how she cried, she still wanted to be her servant, but she didn't ask for any compensation. She was more or less the same person as before, yet she was trying her best to do a lot of things. In the end, she still felt her heart ache.
One day, he would definitely treat her the way the old procuress had treated her back then. He would give Xiao Cui'er a lot of silver and would marry her off without a hitch.
