A poor peasant girl: Farming with a baby and abusing her husband

Yan Shu and the others followed the waiter to a side room on the second floor and sat down.

The whole room was decorated freshly and elegantly. There was a charcoal stove in the middle of the room, which kept the whole room warm.

A little girl who looked like a maid came in carrying a plate of bamboo slips.

"Two guests, please look over the sign. The names of our singers and musicians are here."

Yan Shu and Liu Zhuo were sitting side by side. She turned back and smiled meaningfully:

"Looking over the brand? How about you order some?"

Liu Zhuo said seriously:

"Since my sister said she wants to come and listen to music, it's better for her to choose one!"

Yan Shu took the wooden plate containing the signs and scanned the names on each sign.

"White lotus, hibiscus, autumn tang, winter snow..."

Yan Shu couldn't help but sigh, feeling like she was turning over signs in the harem.

"How about this winter snow? It's quite suitable for the occasion."

After Yan Shu finished speaking, she looked at Liu Zhuo to see if he had any objections.

A slight smile appeared at the corner of Liu Zhuo's mouth, as if he had no objection.

After a while, a graceful woman came out from behind the bead curtain opposite Yan Shu.

She held the pipa in one hand and held up her skirt in the other, sitting elegantly on the wooden chair behind the curtain.

Yaya said from the side: "Mother. She looks like a fairy. What is she going to do?"

Yan Shu hugged Yaya and said:

"She is indeed a fairy, and a fairy who can sing."

There was a soft sound, and a Jiangnan tune gradually came closer accompanied by a woman's soft hum.

There is a hint of resentment in the sound of the pipa, sometimes urgent and sometimes soothing.

Yan Shu took a sip of tea and sighed:

"The big strings are noisy like urgent words, and the small strings are keen like whispers."

Liu Zhuo turned his head and looked at Yan Shu. This was not the first time he admired the talent of the woman in front of him.

Yan Shu reacted and felt that she had made a mistake again, so she explained:

"Well, this is what my former senior brother said. He is a very talented person!"

She was secretly proud: "Fortunately, Bai Juyi didn't know that I had stolen his poems, otherwise he would have jumped out of the coffin board with anger!"

At this time, the pipa girl behind the bead curtain had finished playing a piece of music.

During this quiet moment of pause, a gentle and sweet voice came out of her mouth:

"This female guest officer really described the slave's piano skills very well. It's my first time to be praised like this, which makes me deeply honored."

Yan Shu said:

"Your pipa sound is really moving. It's like telling us a touching story."

The Pipa girl said that most of their life experiences are like this resentful song, which has penetrated deep into their bones without playing it deliberately.

Yan Shu hesitated to speak. With her current ability, it was impossible for her to help these mortal women. This was a problem caused by the system of this era and there was no way to completely save it.

After a brief silence, Yan Shu said:

"Please girl, please play another song. There is no need to know each other before we meet. We are both fallen people in the world. Everyone has his own helplessness."

Liu Zhuo was drinking tea quietly on the side. He had no idea that Yan Shu, a country woman, could understand so much human suffering.

The pipa girl played another song that was more lively than before, and the others also became cheerful.

Leisure time always passes very quickly. It took almost an hour after I came out from the second floor.

Liu Zhuozhi asked:

"Sister, you still want to go to the third floor?"

Yan Shu:

"Of course, it's a rare time for me to come here, so you have to open my eyes, isn't it? It's also a rare time for me to see the charm of Kyoto."

The two of them led Yaya up slowly from the wooden staircase. The closer they got, the louder and louder they heard.

When I went upstairs, I saw a dark crowd surrounding a large wooden table.

"Oh, do you want to bet big or small? Hurry up!"

came a rough voice from the crowd.

"Hey, take care of me, I can't think about it yet!" The man who spoke caught Yan Shu's attention.

Yan Shu wanted to stretch her head to see who it was, but the crowd was surrounded by three layers and three layers outside. There was no gap at all, and it was impossible to see who the man who spoke just now was.

Liu Zhuo looked at Yan Shu with a bit of jealousy and asked:

"What, someone you know?"

Yan Shu shook her head.

"It just feels a bit familiar, like I've heard it somewhere."

She turned to Liu Zhuo and said:

"Look, it's quite lively here. It's estimated that many dignitaries from Kyoto come to visit. There's something special inside this "Breeze Xu Lai" teahouse."

Liu Zhuo quickly explained:

"I'm only interested in drinking tea, nothing else attracts me..."

At this time, there was a roar in the crowd.

"Oh, Mr. Huo. You've done a lot of harm to us. Tell me, why do you have to take the big one?"

"Yeah, I just said I should bet on the younger one, but all I lost today was my underwear!"

Yan Shu suddenly came to her senses when she heard Mr. Huo.

"Is it really him? No wonder the voice sounded so familiar just now."

Just at this time, a group of people ran away from the crowd, and through the gap, Yan Shu saw the expected face.

Although he has a suave appearance. But he couldn't hide his cowardly and selfish face.

Yan Shu walked forward, resting her hands on the gambling table, staring coldly at the dejected Huo Guang.

The people next to me started to shout:

"Hey, this pretty little lady is not here to see Mr. Huo, is she?"

Hearing the cheers from the people around him, Huo Guang raised his forehead and looked at Yan Shu.

A sudden shock made him sit upright in a hurry. He looked behind Yan Shu again, as if he was looking for something.

"Is it you? Zhen'er is with you?"

Huo Guang asked guiltily.

"Young Master Huo is so stable. What happened yesterday doesn't affect you at all from having fun here today!"

Yan Shu almost gritted her teeth in a tone of anger and retorted at him.

Liu Zhuo walked forward with Yaya in his arms.

He stood next to Yan Shu, exuding a strong sense of protection.

His voice sounded softly in Yan Shu's ears:

"Do you know him, or does he know you? What happened that I don't know about?"

Yan Shu turned her head:

"It has nothing to do with you or me. I just feel unworthy for a friend. He is a heartless man."

Yan Shu's words made Liu Zhuo feel even more confused. He didn't care to ask so many questions now, he only wanted to accompany her through the current situation.

Huo Guang noticed Liu Zhuo next to Yan Shu and raised his hands to his chest.

"Then what do you want? I haven't had enough fun today, do you dare to play with me?"

Huo Guang's arrogant attitude made Yan Shu even more angry.

Yan Shu: "Why don't you dare? What do you want to do, bet on cards? You may not win me!"

Huo Guang clapped his hands and said with a smile:

"You think too highly of yourself, girl, believe it or not, I made you lose nothing today? Hahahaha."

Huo Guang laughed unbridled, and the gamblers watching nearby also started laughing.
