Autumn

.But the eldest lady said, "I'm not a son after all, neither can inherit the family business, nor can I honor my ancestors."What is the use. 'By the time I was five years old, my mother was pregnant again, and the doctor diagnosed that it might be a boy.Everyone in the whole house was busy, but the lady's face became more and more gloomy day by day.I remember that it was pouring rain that day, and my father was having dinner with my mother. Because the second child was about to be born, my father was very happy, so he drank a few more glasses.But I didn't expect my father to wake up after finishing the pot of wine. "

"Then, my mother was imprisoned as the murderer of her husband. Because she was a pregnant woman, she was not executed immediately. Although I was still at home at that time, I lived like a servant. The eldest lady always has no reason. beating and scolding, or calling me around day and night. One day I was at the door of her bedroom and heard her talking with another person. Only then did I know that the poison was given by the lady, but she didn’t do it. It's not in the wine, but in the dishes. It's just that she didn't expect that my mother didn't eat because of her pregnancy that night, she just sat next to her father. But she didn't regret it, so the entire Ouyang family's property was lost It's hers."

"Since you know the truth, why don't you report to the officials?"

Lin Su asked.

"I'm just a child, who would believe a child's words? I just remember that when my mother gave birth to my younger brother, the eldest lady immediately sent someone to take him away, and my mother was beheaded for public display."

Yingluo sighed and continued.

"When I was 12 years old, I accidentally saw the number one girl in Yanyu Pavilion. She was dressed in brocade clothes and her head was full of emerald jewels. I saw her greet and send off among the dignitaries. At that time, I was thinking, if I get these Is the favor of the dignitaries able to avenge my mother. So I resolutely left Ouyang's house and sold myself in Yanyu Pavilion. I worked hard to learn piano, chess, calligraphy, poetry, and poetry. When I reached the age of [-] , I conquered all the guests with the song "Feng Qiuhuang", and they flocked to me, so I became the oiran of Yanyu Pavilion. That year, I met an official who was in charge of all the shops in the city. Through him, he destroyed the family business left by my grandfather, displaced the eldest lady, and finally starved to death on the street. At that time, I knew that my little brother had died of a disease many years ago. The official who helped me He came to me and asked me to fulfill my promise, but was punished by his tigress, so he had to give up his mind, and never dared to provoke me again."

After finishing speaking, Yingluo took a long, deep breath, as if walking a long, long way, a road full of thorns.Lin Su listened intently for a long time, holding his breath. His eyes on Yingluo changed from doubt to gentleness.

"What promise did you make?"

"I promised him that as long as he avenged me, I would give him my first night. Unfortunately, he still didn't get it." Yingluo glanced at Lin Su, "Do you feel that the woman in front of you is not as pure as you imagined, but rather It's dirty and treacherous."

"No. If I were you, I think I'd go this way too."

Lin Su's answer made Yingluo's eyes widen in surprise.

"Although I'm not a woman, when I listen to you, I think I can understand your behavior. You must be very helpless at that time. Maybe in the eyes of others, sex is dirty, and I thought so too , so I never set foot in the land of fireworks. But I know the importance of fame to a woman. No woman will exchange her fame for no reason, no matter what is exchanged, except life. People, always You have to live, even if you live like an ant."

Yingluo felt as if something was blocking her chest, and her eyes seemed to be clouded. She tried her best to suppress this uneasy feeling, but in the end she couldn't hold it back.When she burst into tears, Lin Su was a little flustered.He comforted Yingluo at a loss, but found it was useless.Not knowing where he got the courage, he reached out and took Yingluo into his arms.He only felt the person in his arms trembling, and Lin Su, who lost his size, could only hug her tightly.

I don't know how long it took, but when Lin Su opened his eyes again, it was already dawn.He felt that his body was still a little tired, and just about to turn over, he found that one side of his body was pressed by something.Looking down, she found that it was Yingluo.Only then did he slowly recall what happened last night.

"Lin Su, are you awake?"

Yingluo's low voice came from beside her ear.

"sorry, I……"

"You regret it?"

"I just think..."

Lin Su suddenly realized something, and quickly swallowed back the remaining words.

"It's okay, no one will know." Yingluo sat up slowly, her long hair fell down to cover her naked body, "If you regret it, you won't use it in the future. Besides, you should be a candidate for the exam Come on. Prepare for the exam with peace of mind, this place is not suitable for you."

"No, that's not what I meant." Lin Su grabbed Yingluo's arm, "I just thought we met for the second time, I... Anyway, I offended the girl. I..."

Yingluo raised her hand and interrupted Lin Su.

"You don't need to be responsible. I'm just the first person. Fame is not that important to me."

"But it's very important to me." Lin Su said solemnly, "When I first saw you, I had a strange feeling. I didn't know what it was at the time, but after meeting you for the second time yesterday , I know I like you. I want to marry you, it has nothing to do with who you are."

After speaking, Lin Su got out of bed and took her own clothes, and took out a suet white jade jade ring from her belt.

"This one is for you, and I will always wear this one." Lin Su hung another identical jade ring around his neck, "This is my token of love."

Ying Luo's tears fell on the jade ring, she took out a multi-colored Ying Luo from under the pillow and handed it to Lin Su without saying a word.

"What? You want to redeem yourself?"

Yingluo gave her first night to Lin Su, which made her even more determined to leave Misty Rain Pavilion.But Mother Li quit. Without Yingluo, where would she find such a beautiful, charming, and versatile oiran?This is going to cut off her money.

"No! I don't agree."

"Mom, Yingluo has also made a lot of money for Yanyu Pavilion these years. Now I am 23 years old, and I am afraid that I will be old in a few years. At that time, who will still spend money in Yanyu Pavilion for me? Why don't you let her go?" Me, wouldn't it be better to train another oiran as soon as possible? I think that Liu Yan is pretty good, and she is also clever. Whether it is piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, song or Fu, she is the best among all the sisters. Right now her first night is still there, and she has just 14 years old. If I don’t cultivate well, I might be able to attract more people by learning from me back then.”

After hearing this, Li's mother felt that it was reasonable, but she was a little bit reluctant.Liu Yan is indeed a good child, and he had planned to raise her to be an oiran, but if Yingluo is willing to stay, wouldn't it be better.Misty and rainy twin sisters, just hearing this name can calm down all the brothels in the surrounding area.

"Yingluo, let mother think about it again. Three days, I will reply you in three days."

Three days later, Li's mother finally agreed to Yingluo, but she put forward a condition.She wanted Yingluo to teach Liu Yan personally, within one month, no matter how much Liu Yan had learned, Yingluo could leave.And this month, Yingluo still has to perform, but she doesn't have to accept guests.

Seeing that the deadline for leaving is approaching, Yingluo also finds out that she is pregnant.But she kept this matter a secret. If Mama Li found out that she had privately had a relationship with Lin Su, she didn't know what kind of trouble would happen.But it's not so easy to hide a woman's pregnancy, especially for someone like Li's mother.When she found out that Yingluo was pregnant, she forced her to ask who the father of Yingluo's child was, even though she had already guessed pretty well.

"At the beginning, you said that you don't sell yourself as an artist, but you sold yourself in the end. No wonder you wanted to leave. It turned out that you had an affair with that brat. If that's the case, let that Lin come to redeem yourself."

Yingluo knew that Lin Su couldn't afford the money, and Li's mother was deliberately making things difficult.

"Yingluo, anyway, you are pregnant now without marriage. It might be better for you if you stay. Otherwise, if outsiders find out, do you think you and Lin Su can really live and fly together?"

"Mother Li, you don't have to threaten me. Even if I die, I will not stay in Yanyu Pavilion."

"Death? Well, you go to die. If you are willing to let the child in your stomach die with you."

Mother Li squinted at Yingluo's unconcealed belly.Yingluo's hands gently caressed the abdomen, where a life was forming.

"You can think about it yourself."

That night, Lin Su came to Yanyu Pavilion to see Yingluo as usual.But Yingluo didn't tell him what happened during the day.On the other hand, the sharp-eyed mother Li hurriedly followed Lin Su as soon as she saw Lin Su enter the Misty Rain Pavilion.

"Mr. Lin." Li's mother still smiled, "You see, our Yingluo is pregnant with the flesh and blood of your Lin family. No matter what you say, you have to give some gift money. I treat Yingluo as a daughter. Yes, there is no reason for a mother to send her daughter away for nothing. Do you think so?"

Of course Lin Su knew what she wanted.

"Mother Li, Yingluo should have told you about the ransom."

"I've said it, but Yingluo's people are all from Yanyu Pavilion, so of course her money also belongs to Yanyu Pavilion. There is no reason for a daughter to marry herself off with her mother's money as a bride price. How to say, you should also let your father do this. A dowry money."

Lin Su was stunned. With his family's financial resources, it wasn't that he couldn't afford it, but that his father would never pay the money.After being pestered by Mama Li, Lin Su lost her soul.

"Mom, are you trying to force us to death?"

"Oh, where did you start. I'm just telling the truth."

Mother Li stood sideways as she spoke, squinting at them.

"Mom, don't go too far."

"You don't even look at yourself. You got pregnant out of wedlock, and you were born as a prostitute. You really think of yourself as a daughter! You killed your parents, and your younger brother. Even the family business left by your ancestors was destroyed in your hands." Go on. Besides, your mother is still a criminal who murdered her husband!"

Mother Li's words made Yingluo feel ashamed.She couldn't help but took a few steps back, but she didn't know that the railing behind her was not secure, only a loud noise was heard, and Yingluo's body fell down along with the broken railing.Lin Su was caught off guard and fell too. Seeing that someone was killed, Li's mother fled downstairs in fright.

"When I woke up, I was already lying in the meditation room of the Ci'en Temple. At that time, I couldn't remember what happened. No one told me, and they kept silent about it." Lin Su looked up at the ghost, "So, Yingluo was already dead at that time?"

"Then do you remember what happened next?"

"Later?" Lin Su sat on the ground dejectedly, "Later, my father forced me into the examination room. Although I got the first place, I couldn't be happy. My family wanted to prepare a marriage for me. I didn't like it for no reason. That's why I came here." here."

Lin Su's eyes fell on the mournful face of the ghost, and he stretched out his hand towards the ghost.

"Yingluo, Yingluo, follow me back, or take me away."

"She can't go back with you, let alone take you away." Yueying looked at Yingluo, and saw her lips move a few times, "She said, she wants you to live, and please live well for her. She hopes to see Until you get married and have children."

Lin Su's outstretched hand dropped, he stared blankly at Yingluo's soul, weeping uncontrollably.

"Her soul needs to be transcended, and I don't have the ability."

Yin Danlu frowned.

"Then we can only find Mr. Lu."

Yueying looked at Lin Su's tears and said.Yin Danlu looked back at her, and saw sadness in her eyes, that sadness was because of Lin Su and Yingluo.The final farewell of the lovers is so similar to the life and separation between her and Ye Minglun.

"Then let's go to Qingfeng City."
