Chapter 125 Chapter 125

This flower boat is not small, but the place where Gu Xichao brought Song Le and them is quite remote, and it seems that his mother's status in the flower house is not high. I just don’t know why the Madam, despite her low status, let Han Niang board the boat when the space on the flower boat is limited.

"Ahem, cough, please come in." The woman in the room said softly.

Opening the door, the three of them filed in. Song Lehe saw a thin and beautiful woman sitting on the couch, pouring tea. She had obviously been ill for a long time, her face was so haggard that even makeup and powder could not hide it, and her fingers were so thin that they were withered. When she was healthy, she must have been a woman with beautiful appearance and gentle temperament.

"Mom." Gu Xichao walked over quickly and helped Han Niang, with a somewhat worried look on her face.

"Mother is fine," Han Niang held Gu Xichao's shoulders and looked at Dongfang and Song Lehe who were sitting down and said, "The guests seem to have something to do with me. My son is young and loose-mouthed. Can you let him go out first?" "

It's impossible for two women to come to the flower boat to do that kind of thing. And she hasn't received customers for a long time since she fell ill, let alone a customer's wife coming to her door, what else could it be if he didn't come to see her for something. But even if something happens, it is actually quite rare for a woman to board a flower boat.

Song Lehe didn't care, he just followed Dongfang to meet Han Niang, who had amazed Dongfang back then. Now I have seen that although she has been ill for a long time and has lost seven points of her beauty, she can still be called a beauty with temperament, which is pretty good.

Dongfang nodded, and after Gu Xichao reluctantly left, he asked directly: "Did you put makeup on the oiran that was launched on this ship just now?"

Hearing Dongfang's voice, the experienced Han Niang She was just surprised for a moment, and then nodded naturally: "It's me, and now I only have this skill."

This is why she appeared on the flower boat. The madam needed her to put on makeup for the people who appeared. . And in the brothel, she was able to let the madam take her from the shore to the boat with makeup, which shows her ability in makeup.

Song Lehe didn't pay attention to which ship the performer belonged to, so he didn't know what Han Niang's makeup skills were, but Dongfang seemed very satisfied. He nodded, stood up and said to Han Niang: "That's okay, I'll redeem your life, and you can stay with me as a maid from now on."

Song Lehe had mentioned to Dongfang before that he would learn makeup from the maid in the backyard . After he left, Dongfang sent people to look for her. It was not easy to find such a maid. The ones that are easy to find are mostly the second-class maids who work for the mistress, while the personal maids who can do makeup for the mistress rarely leave the mistress's house, and even if they get married, they will mostly be left at the mistress' house. And because there are so many things to know, it is difficult to ask for them from any company without force.

Therefore, after trying twice and failing both times, Dongfang paid attention to the brothel. You can also have access to high-end cosmetics supplies and techniques. A place like a brothel that serves people with sex has high requirements in this regard. There happened to be such an oiran competition, so he thought of coming over to see whose makeup style he liked, and then buy the person to be his maid.

Of course he couldn't have discovered Han Niang through the makeup on the oiran's face launched by this ship. This happened more than ten years ago. He was still a straight man at the time. If you don't remember, he was not divided at all at that time. I don't know what kind of makeup those courtesans were wearing. But when he got on the boat, he was able to tell who was pushing the boat because he was always paying attention to which courtesan was performing.

Song Lehe looked at Dongfang who had already gone out, and then looked at Han Niang who looked surprised. He scratched his head and did not follow him out. Instead, he asked Han Niang with some curiosity and gossip: "Dongfang seems to trust your makeup very much." Level, has he seen it?"

Song Lehe still used falsetto. He has always been a character who will perform to the end if he performs, so he insisted on falsetto when he was dressing up as a woman. Even if Lu Xiaofeng knew that he was a man, he would not change it (actually I'm too lazy to adjust the voice line parameters).

Han Niang's expression seemed a little confused. She shook her head and said, "No, I don't remember that I have seen that guest."

'That's not necessarily true,' Song Lehe thought, 'Maybe you have. When he was wearing men's clothing. Han

Niang looked a little uneasy. She wanted to stop Dongfang as soon as he finished speaking, but before she could say anything, he had already gone out and disappeared. She looked at Song Lehe and said to him with a somewhat melancholy expression: "Girl, can you help me persuade that girl? It means that I am ignorant, but I can't leave alone."

"Because of your son?" Song Lehe subconsciously looked outside the door. Gu Xichao was standing guard at the door. When Dongfang went out, he was startled. At this time, he was looking nervously at Han Niang inside the door.

Han Niang nodded: "As a mother, I have already burdened him, so how can I abandon him and leave on my own."

"He has been naturalized." Song Lehe suddenly remembered, "Yes, although heirs generally follow him Father's household registration, but he stayed in the brothel, which means he followed you."

Han Niang smiled bitterly and nodded. It was not that she had no chance of being redeemed before, but because the other party was unwilling to bring someone who was not related by blood. child, so in the end she refused. Although Gu Xichao grew up in a brothel, he was quite filial to her. Even though he later learned some martial arts outside and escaped from the brothel that didn't take him seriously, he still guarded her and never left. But now that the madam has discovered that he is good-looking, it is even more difficult for mother and son to leave together.

Song Lehe shrugged and said nonchalantly: "Since you want to take the child with you, just let Dongfang take your son away with you."

"If before, the guest wanted to take my mother and son with me, it would have been okay . It's easy to say," said Han Niang, touching her face, "I am already old and golden, and the madam is not willing to raise a freeloader. If the customer wants to take me away, the madam will not charge too much, so it saves money. I frightened the customer away and smashed my concubine into her hands. But now that the madam has discovered my son’s appearance, how can she let go easily? I’m afraid she will ask for a high price.”

In fact, after learning that my son wiped his face and presented himself to the old madam. When she was young, Han Niang had already beaten her son. She would rather die of illness than have the madam target her son, and she didn't want her son to become a member of the Nanfeng Pavilion and follow her same path. After the beating, she hugged her son and cried. Her child was smart and handsome. If she hadn't been a mother like her, he would have never been able to become an official even in the imperial examination.

Song Lehe didn't think there was any problem with this: "Dongfang is not short of money, and he can't afford to ransom one more person." And even if the old bustard asked for a high price, if Dongfang felt that it was not worth it, wouldn't he use force to pay back the price on the spot? Money?

"Don't worry." Before Song Lehe finished speaking, he saw Dongfang returning.

"Okay, let's go." Dongfang waved his sleeves and said to Song Lehe, "I should have taken you there with me just now. Didn't you see that the old madam saw a woman coming to redeem someone's body? When she spoke, it was a male voice again. The surprised expression at the end. "

Perhaps Song Lehe's previous attitude of teasing Lu Xiaofeng inspired Dongfang, and he seemed to understand a little bit about the fun of scaring others in this way. Sometimes, when he doesn't care so much about his own image and instead aims to scare others, women's clothing changes from his unspeakable personal hobby to a special means of scaring others, and suddenly he feels a lot more confident.

"Wait a minute," Song Lehe pulled Dongfang and pointed at Gu Xichao outside the door and said, "Take him away too, otherwise the maid you like will not be willing to leave."

Dongfang looked in the direction of Gu Xichao and frowned . frowned.

"Don't worry about me," Gu Xichao couldn't help but follow Dongfang when he came in just now. He seemed very happy after learning that his mother was ransomed. After hearing Song Lehe's words, he shook his head and said, " I can take care of myself, and I hope you can treat my mother well."

As soon as his mother left, Gu Xichao, who already knew what the madam had planned, decided to run away. He knows some martial arts, and although he may not be able to beat the thugs in the building, he can still escape with a good plan. As long as he walked far enough, would the madam still have to spend a lot of manpower and material resources on his behalf?

Song Lehe waved his hand and said to Gu Xichao: "Children should listen to adults. If you stay here, your mother will not work even if she works in Dongfang." You won't be relieved. And are you really relieved that your mother will leave like this with someone you don't know?"

Then he turned to Dongfang and said, "Don't you still need a servant? Or you said before that you would give him someone who suits your preferences. For the position of a good-looking person, there is a ready-made one now. He is good-looking, hard-working, has some weaknesses, knows some martial arts, and has seen your preferences. Isn’t it quite suitable?”

“By the way, do you know how to read? ” Song Lehe suddenly turned to Gu Xichao and asked.

"I understand." When Gu Xichao heard that he had the opportunity to leave with his mother and continue to stay with her to take care of him, Gu Xichao had a very positive attitude towards self-recommendation. "I studied in a private school for a period of time and was often praised by teachers. I never forget it. Forget. Although my martial arts skills are low now, I am young and have only started to learn martial arts for half a year. I will continue to work hard in the future. I have lived here since I was a child. I am diligent and agile. I can also choose jewelry, makeup, and do some simple sewing and embroidery. Dongfang

raised his eyebrows, feeling moved. He actually doesn't care that much about his knowledge. He is the leader of a martial arts sect and does not need his subordinates to take the imperial examination. However, the fact that Gu Xichao has learned martial arts in half a year shows that he has quite good abilities. And the skills he reported later were really what his attendants lacked. After all, this is a martial arts sect. It would be good if those under him can serve others, but there are still only a few who can choose makeup.

"Okay, you will come too." Dongfang decided.

Han Niang and her son looked very happy. Dongfang waved his hand: "I'll go find the madam. You guys go to the boat and wait for me. I'll redeem you and leave."

Seeing Han Niang's illness, he planned to take her back as soon as possible. Find a doctor to see a doctor in case the maid he just brought back falls ill and dies. Of course, he would never ask for a Gu doctor. Before he looked away, he didn't want to see any doctor who might see through his suicide, and neither did Ping Yi Zhi.

Han Niang and her son had nothing to take, so they followed Song Lehe to their previous boat in a light manner. Judging from the fact that no one came to stop them from the room to the deck, Dongfang and the Madam should have gone smoothly.

After arriving on the boat and confirming that she could really leave the brothel, Han Niang had an unreal feeling of finally being relieved. If Gu Xichao hadn't been supporting her, she might have fallen down. After calming down a little, Han Niang began to ask Song Lehe about who the new customer was and what she wanted to do.

Although Dongfang told Han Niang before that she wanted Han Niang to be a maid for him, Han Niang didn't believe that Dongfang spent so much money just to buy a maid. It is much cheaper to buy a maid outside, and the range of choices is still wide. He is older, more professional than her, and healthier than her. Since he spent so much money to buy her, there must be a special reason.

Song Lehe took the oar and sat down on the bow of the boat, then motioned to Han Niang to sit down and take a rest, and then replied: "Dongfang, you will know who he is later. As for the reason why he wants you to be a maid, He just fell in love with your makeup skills. You also saw his hobby, but his makeup ability is not even one percent of his martial arts. He spent an hour putting on makeup when he went out today, and this was based on the template he had before. "

What are you saying bad things about me?" everyone said, Dongfang fell from the flower boat onto the boat, and the boat didn't even tremble.

"You say your makeup skills are poor," Song Lehe accused. "It took so long to put on makeup, but you woke me up so early, which made me wait for you for a long time."

Also based on the makeup she decided last night, Song Lehe finished putting on makeup and changing clothes in less than ten minutes. As for Dongfang, he lingered for an hour before he managed to finish it. I don’t know how his hands, which are so steady when flying needles, are like holding two five-meter-thick wooden sticks to embroider ants three meters away when putting on makeup, and they touch everything except the target range.

Dongfang couldn't refute, because he was indeed a little slower.

"It won't be possible now," Dongfang held Han Niang's shoulders and said to Song Lehe, "I'll try the new maid's makeup ability when I get back."

"Okay." Song Lehe nodded and suggested, " Let's go back now."

Dongfang had achieved his goal of finding someone to do his makeup, but Song Lehe didn't want to continue reading because he was short of money. The two hit it off and immediately decided to go back. Han Niang and her son had no right to object, nor did they have the intention to object. They wanted to stay as far away from the flower boat as possible.

Standing on the boat, Gu Xichao, who had been refused help by Song Lehe, looked at the flower boat going away and let out a long sigh of relief. Although he still doesn't know who Dongfang is who took away their mother and son, and although his hobby of cross-dressing is very weird, it's already good after leaving the brothel. His mother is still here, and mother and son can still be together, and that's enough.
