"Hey! Master Jiang is here? Chunhong is waiting for you in the room!"

As soon as Xin Guoguo entered the small world, she heard giggles and men's teasing voices outside the door.

The sound is noisy.

Outside the door, my mother's voice was very clear.

Then, there was a quiet voice:

"Thank you, Mom."

Mom laughed:

"Mr. Jiang, you are too polite. Mr. Jiang, please go in quickly and don't keep us Chunhong waiting for too long."

The carved mahogany door was gently pushed open.

Xing Guoguo sat on a chair beside the round table in the room and poured a cup of tea.

Hearing the door open, she looked up with a perfect smile on her pretty face:

"Mr. Jiang is here? Please take a seat."

Jiang Nan Ge is the eldest son of the Jiang family, a wealthy merchant family in Yangcheng.

When he was young, he was a genius with extraordinary talent, admired by many people.

Unfortunately, since his mother passed away and his stepmother came into the family, he could only be a playboy who indulged in wine and women.

His acquaintance with the original owner was very simple.

It's just two life-saving graces.

The original owner's family conditions were not good.

He has a gambler father, a cowardly mother, and a younger brother who is expected to inherit the family business.

These configurations should belong to the protagonist.

It’s a pity that there are so few protagonists in this world.

There are many weak women who have such a configuration and are unable to climb out of the quagmire.

Everyone has the idea of ​​"protagonist configuration", which is nothing more than survivor bias.

When the original owner was ten years old, he was sold once by his gambling father.

However, she was lucky enough to meet Jiangnan Ge that time.

Jiangnan Ge was only fifteen years old at that time.

After giving her father some money, he gave up the idea of ​​selling her.

But, it was only that one time.

When she was eleven years old, she was sold again.

This time, she was not so lucky.

In the Cuihong Building.

She became a reserve staff member in the building and was trained.

She didn't resist.

Because here there is no heavy and endless work, and no father who will beat her when he is angry.

There is no younger brother who will bully her at any time.

There are also meals that are filling.

She was so lucky, she thought.

I hope I can live safely to the age of eleven, have enough food to eat, and no longer be beaten.

The little sister next door to her was beaten to death by her father when she was eight years old.

There was also a little girl named Cuihua in the village who starved to death at the age of five.

There are also many little girls who were drowned just after they were born and ended up in the baby girl tower.

She is lucky.

When she was thirteen years old, when the building was planning to arrange for her to receive customers, she was lucky enough to be saved again by her savior.

The lifesaver took her in.

This package lasts for three years.

This year, she is sixteen years old.

The savior's home was ransacked because his stepmother offended a high-ranking official.

In the original world line, after today, the two of them parted ways.

The Jiang family was exiled and never returned to Yangcheng.

The original owner was forced to start accepting clients and was tortured to death a year later.

Today's Jiangnan songs seem a little depressed.

He was still wearing a dark blue brocade robe with cloud patterns, revealing the nobility of a young man and the elegance of a scholar.

He sat down in front of Xing Guoguo.

Xin Guoguo pushed the poured tea in front of him:

"Sir, please."

Jiang Nan Ge opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

But when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say a word.

He simply picked up the teacup and drank the clear tea in it.

With a "dang" sound, he put the teacup on the table and looked up at the pretty, gentle woman in front of him:

"Chunhong..."

Xing Guoguo smiled:

"Sir, why are you so hesitant today? Is there something you want to tell Chunhong?"

A trace of pain flashed across Jiang Nan Ge's eyes.

Three years have passed.

This woman, who has always been gentle, considerate, soft on the outside but strong on the inside, has long been in his heart.

"Chunhong, I'm leaving."

Xin Guoguo paused for a moment, picked up the teapot, and poured him some tea to hide her inner uneasiness:

"Where are you going, sir?"

A large hand suddenly reached out and held her soft little hand:

"Chunhong, I'm going to the border to serve as a soldier. Can you wait for me to come back?"

Xin Guoguo was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him:

"Sir, are you not going to take the imperial examination?"

Jiang Nan Ge was very talented in studying, but like most scholars, he was also a weak scholar.

Oh.

It's not completely powerless.

He can also fight.

The pain in Jiangnan Ge's eyes became more obvious:

"I can no longer take scientific research now."

With that person standing in his way, he would never succeed if he took the imperial examination.

Xing Guoguo:……

That’s okay.

Taking part in the military examination at that time could be one option.

A military jinshi is also a jinshi.

"Then... Sir, are you here today to take Chunhong away?"

She seemed to know that this matter was a bit embarrassing, so she didn't dare to raise her head to see his expression.

Or rather, she was afraid of hearing a negative answer.

Jiangnan Ge pursed her lips:

"I... am afraid... that I can't take you away."

The weather in Mobei is bitterly cold. How could such a delicate woman like her endure such hardship?

Xing Guoguo raised his head.

Her eyes were already filled with tears: "Sir, do you not want Chunhong anymore?"

Beauty in tears.

She is so delicate and makes people feel distressed.

Jiang Nange also felt that his heart was aching as she looked at him with her clear eyes, and his whole body seemed to be in pain:

"Chunhong..."

He wanted to say, "Come with me."

But in the end, reason prevailed.

"Don't be embarrassed, sir. Chunhong knows. Please have another cup of tea. Just think of it as Chunhong bidding you farewell and thanking you for taking care of me over the years."

Pushing the teacup over again, Xin Guoguo looked at him with red eyes, trying hard to hold back tears.

Jiang Nan Ge closed his eyes, picked up the tea, paused, and then drank it all in one gulp.

After putting down the teacup, he suddenly stood up, turned around and left.

Xin Guoguo looked at his back, tears welling up in her eyes and her vision blurred.

After everyone walked out the door, her crying gradually became louder.

The crying sound broke Jiang Nan Ge's heart.

He couldn't help but pause.

Seeing that he looked unhappy, my mother came over and said:

"Mr. Jiang, what's wrong? Why do you look unhappy? Did Chunhong make you angry? How about I ask Chunhong to come out and apologize to you?"

In front of outsiders, Jiang Nan Ge didn't want to show his emotions.

He restrained his expression:

"No. It's just that I have some things to deal with recently."

The smile on my mother's face froze:

"Then... Chunhong... Sir, do you still want to wrap it? If not..."

Jiang Nange's eyes widened instantly: "What do you mean?"

Seeing him like this, my mother had a bad feeling in her heart, but she didn't want to offend this big customer, so she could only say honestly:

"Chunhong is originally a girl in our building. For the past three years, she has been kept by you, the customer, and she only needs to serve you. If you don't keep her anymore, I can't let her be a burden. Of course, she has to come out to receive customers and earn money. After all, my Cuihong Building is not for charity."
