The Young Master of the Coal Miner

Chapter 15

dusk.

When the sun sets on the western mountain, the sunset glow dyes the sky purple with the last ray of afterglow.

Every household was lit with lamps. There were dots everywhere in Jinning City, and only one place was brightly lit.

Colorful lanterns had been hung in the alley outside Annan Pavilion long ago. There were people coming and going downstairs, all of them were men who came to have fun. Inside the railing on the second floor stood a dozen or so beautifully dressed girls, looking towards the downstairs. Waving a handkerchief and a round fan, the scent of cosmetics permeates the air.

Occasionally, an embroidered handkerchief accidentally fell, and it happened to fall on the head of a guest downstairs. The man took off the handkerchief, and when he raised his head, he bumped into the sight of a girl upstairs.The girl's pretty face was shy, and under the fight and push of the sisters next to her, Jiao Didi went downstairs to get the handkerchief, and dragged the man into her room along the way.

Standing in the dark next to the railing on the second floor is a woman. A slim and stylish red cheongsam shows her exquisite figure to the fullest. Red high-heeled leather shoes imported from the United States, and her jet-black hair permed into the most fashionable wave pattern in Shanghai.

She held a slender lady's cigarette in her right hand, and the scarlet end of the cigarette was very conspicuous in the dark.

The woman squinted her eyes and stretched her slender eyebrows, enjoying the smog at the moment, but she also saw the scene downstairs just now.

Her full red lips were slightly raised, and her eyes were full of disdain.

This is just a leftover trick from her...

After looking around, the woman seemed bored, she threw the remaining half of the cigarette on the ground, ran over it hard with her red high-heeled shoes, turned and entered the room.

The sound of high-heeled shoes hitting the ground sounded, and the Annan Pavilion was still brightly lit. The colorful lights hit the faces of each girl, making it a little more hazy, and the ears were filled with the laughter and noise of the girls and the guests.

"Sister Shaoyao."

The woman ran into the little girl who came to look for her within a few steps.If it's her maid, it's better to say it's sent by the brothel to watch over the girls and serve them along the way.

Shao Yao didn't even look at her, and went straight to her room.

"Sister Shaoyao, mother is looking for you." The little maid took a few steps forward.

Shao Yao couldn't help but rolled her eyes, and curled her red lips: "What's the matter?"

"A guest came to you for a drink."

Shao Yao waved her hands without turning her head: "Just say I'm not feeling well."

"But...but this guest is the one from a few days ago, and my mother can't afford to offend her."

Is it the one with the stupid money a few days ago?

Shao Yao slenderly raised her eyebrows, stretched out her tender left hand, and looked at the brand-new ruby ​​ring on her head, feeling a little better.

"Lead the way."

All the way through the long aisle on the second floor, the two met a young man head-on.

This man was thin and weak, and he always looked a little sick. When he got closer, he could see that the young man's skin was as white as snow, and his narrow and narrow red phoenix eyes were black, like thick ink on white rice paper, adding aura to the whole face.

"Yo, isn't this our number one cleaner?"

Shao Yao raised the corners of her mouth and spoke first.

"Sister Shaoyao." Ming Lan could only answer when she was stopped.

"If you want me to tell you, it's better for you, Kunze, to wait until you are an adult before you can officially receive guests. Unlike our girls, I think I became a red lady when I was ten years old." Shao Yao's tone was yin and yang, and she put her hand on her forehead, Pretending to be distressed.

"You'll be eighteen next year, right?" Shao Yao approached him with a smile, and whispered in his ear, just smelling the faint fragrance of tea at the end of her nose.

"However, according to Boss Xue's love for you now, maybe he will really redeem you back home." Shaoyao patted him on the shoulder lightly, "After all, those Qianli smell your letter. I can't go."

Ming Lan frowned slightly, and couldn't help but took a small step back when she approached her neck, and listened to her sarcasm, but kept silent.

Shao Yao felt that talking to herself was meaningless, so she curled her lips and decided to let him go.

Seeing the background of the young man walk away, she asked the little girl beside her, "Which guest is he here to receive?"

"It's Young Master Deng from the Deng family's pawn shop." The little girl answered honestly, not understanding what Sister Shaoyao was thinking.

"The men who are looking for him are all amazing."

Shao Yao sighed softly, and couldn't help turning her head to look at the young man.

There are indeed many men who like this skinny look...

Shao Yao smiled, shook her head slightly, and followed the maid into a guest room.

Pushing open the door, I saw a middle-aged man in his 40s and [-]s sitting at the table, looking at his back with a wide waist and a fat body.

"Master Hong."

As soon as Shao Yao entered the door, she smiled coquettishly and called for someone first.

When the man turned his head, he saw Shao Yao in a big red cheongsam walking towards him gracefully.

Shao Yao is used to observing words and expressions, seeing that the guest's expression is not right, she also stopped the smile on her face with interest.

She whispered softly: "Ah, what's the matter with Master Hong today? Did Shaoyao offend you?"

As she spoke, she poured a small glass of wine and handed it to Wang Hongshuo.

Wang Hongshuo caressed the delicate hand that was stained with red Kodan in front of his eyes, and put the wine directly into his mouth, the gloom on his face was much less.

"Why is my master so angry with Shao Yao?"

Wang Hongshuo put his arms around Shaoyao's shoulders, took her hand and placed it on his thigh.

Shao Yao obediently leaned against his chest, and asked softly: "What is it that makes Master Hong worry so much?"

When Wang Hongshuo thought of his ancestral hall and shop that were on fire, and his concubine who was caught having an affair with someone else, his face darkened immediately, and he said in a muffled voice, "It's just a villain I committed these days."

"Don't talk about these unhappy things." Seeing the guest's expression changed, Shao Yao didn't ask any questions, and poured another glass of wine for Wang Hongshuo: "Shao Yao only hopes that Master Hong will be happier with me."

Wang Hongshuo took her wine, and seeing the bright and charming Shaoyao in his arms with a gentle and lovely little woman's posture, he felt very comfortable.

His mother is a tough woman. She used to take care of his basic necessities, and now she takes care of his family members in the back house. She married a regular wife with a dignified and boring appearance. Under the management of my mother, they all became serious and lost their taste.The only one who is special is Aunt Jiu who actually committed adultery with other men.

Now that Wang Hongshuo has lost all interest in going home and facing the giant Buddhas without smiling faces, he might as well come to Annan Pavilion, which is full of nephrite jade and fragrance, to find happiness.

Don't look at Shaoyao as a tall northern girl with a cool and domineering appearance, and she doesn't speak as softly as Wu Nong, a southern girl, but Wang Hongshuo likes her to be strong to outsiders. She is gentle, shy and charming.This greatly satisfied his macho mentality.

He came to Annan Pavilion for a few days in a row, ordering Shaoyao to sit with him, if it wasn't for the high price of Shaoyao, and he was afraid that the old mother at home would blame him, he would have wanted to redeem himself for Shaoyao a long time ago.

Now that he can't get anyone, his eyes are getting hotter and hotter. Today he will book a place for her, and tomorrow he will buy some sets of expensive jewelry for her. His life is actually happier than before.

After the two finished drinking, Wang Hongshuo couldn't sleep in Annan Pavilion today, so he had to go home early.Before leaving, he not only gave Shaoyao a stack of banknotes, but also invited brothel mothers, and planned to wrap up Shaoyao for another month.

Shaoyao was like a little wife who sent her husband out, she sent Wang Hongshuo out, her eyes were full of reluctant nostalgia, Wang Hongshuo felt distressed when she saw it, and she hurriedly told her that she would come to see her in a few days.

But when the door was closed, Shao Yao turned around, and suddenly the reluctance in her eyes disappeared completely, and all that was left on her face was the impatience with Wang Hongshuo's dawdling and refusing to leave.

She picked up a stack of banknotes on the table, and now there was a smile on her face. The fingertips dyed with red Kodan fiddled with the banknotes one by one, and the smile on the corner of her mouth slowly expanded.

This foolish and wealthy Wang Gouxiong really did like this.

The little girl on the side had long been used to her instant face change, so it was no surprise.

After counting the bank notes in her hand, Shao Yao still had a smile on her face, humming a light tune, and locked all the bank notes in the small cabinet inside Ba Bu's bed.

Seeing that the moonlight was just right tonight, Shao Yao opened the window, ready to blow the night breeze, looked down at the courtyard downstairs, and saw two people sitting in the pavilion.

The night of early summer still carries the chill of late spring.

Ming Lan sat in the pavilion and stroked the qin, playing melodious tunes while the strings were being plucked. Opposite was a man in a clear gray robe, drinking a small wine and looking at the courtyard under the moon.

Seeing that Shaoyao was fascinated, the little girl couldn't help but move to the window to have a look, and found that Ming Lan and that young master Deng were outside the window, she couldn't help sighing: "Now we are enjoying the flowers and the moon in the courtyard. Young Master Deng is really romantic towards Minglan!"

"is it?"

Shao Yao turned her head and glanced at the maid, and saw that the maid's face was full of innocent envy, she raised one eyebrow lightly, and pursed the corners of her mouth.

Then if Young Master Deng treats Minglan sincerely, how could he not know that kid is sick and weak?

Although it's already summer, the evening wind is still a bit chilly, maybe it can blow that kid out of his illness.

Thinking of this, Shao Yao couldn't help frowning, and closed the window in front of her.

The little girl was watching intently, when the window in front of her was suddenly closed, and she was startled.

Seeing Shaoyao frowning, she thought she was jealous of Minglan, so she pouted and left the window.

The little maid finished serving Shao Yao, closed the door for her, and left with a droopy face.

This girl Shaoyao has a really hard temper, and she doesn't smile when she treats them little maids, it's better for Brother Minglan to treat others.

Just as the little girl was thinking this way, she bumped into Ming Lan going upstairs with Qin in her arms.

Perhaps it was because of the night wind that Minglan's fair face turned pale again, and when he looked up, he saw the little maid beside Shaoyao.

"Brother Minglan." The little girl was the first to call out with a smile on her face.

Minglan was also smiling, and his originally cold face was instantly like a spring breeze. He asked warmly, "Just now I saw how you put on a sour face, but Miss Shaoyao picked up an embarrassing guest today, and scolded you again when she was unhappy?"

"No, the one looking for Sister Shaoyao today is Admiral Wang. He treats Sister Shaoyao very well, and he will give a lot of money every time."

In Shaoyao's place, this half-grown girl has never had a good face, seeing Minglan caring about her, she can't help but say everything with her small mouth as if she couldn't hold back the door.

"It's just that Sister Shaoyao has a bad temper, and I don't know where I offended her..." The little girl lowered her head and muttered.

"Sister Shaoyao has such a temper. Next time, don't get close to her." Ming Lan looked at her with a smile, and reached out to pat her on the shoulder to make her feel relieved.

"Brother Minglan, you are good." The little girl was comforted, and her mood calmed down a bit, and she defended Minglan again: "I don't know why, Sister Shaoyao always treats you with cynicism when she sees you."

Minglan hugged Qin and smiled lightly.

After chatting, the little girl happily went back to her room, still thinking that brother Minglan is really a gentle person.

And Ming Lan behind her put away her smile, her face was expressionless, but her eyes were full of strange colors.
