Time Travel: Brothel Maid

As a result, the snack that I bought with great difficulty went into someone else's stomach before I even had a chance to taste it.

Oh, what a pity.

Seeing Sheng'er eating two pieces of emerald bean cakes without any courtesy, Xiao Guo'er looked away with a heartbroken look.

Jade bean cake is also her favorite snack.

Xiao Guoer went to the couch in the inner room under the pretext of drinking tea, and took out two pieces of silver from under the pillow. After hesitating for a moment, she only took one piece and put it in her arms. She put the remaining piece back as it was.

Oh, the expenses this month are a bit high.

My heart hurts so much, it feels like it's bleeding.

As soon as Xiao Guoer came out from the inner room, she saw that half of the snacks in the brown paper bag had disappeared.

How can he eat so fast!

"Brother Sheng'er, let's go to the punishment room quickly. Mother Qin can't find anyone, and if she blames us, I'm afraid we'll be punished again."

Sheng'er nodded, without swallowing the snack in his mouth, and only responded vaguely with "hmm".

Before leaving, he took a piece of candied green plum, put it in his mouth, wiped the snack residue from the corners of his mouth, and then stood up and walked out.

As Xiao Guoer followed and closed the door, she secretly glared at Sheng'er with a mixture of heartache and disgust.

Is this the reincarnation of a starving ghost? He can really eat!

-

The door of the punishment room was not closed. Looking inside, one could see ropes, whips, bamboo boards and other instruments used to punish people.

Mrs. Qian was cracking melon seeds. When she saw Sheng'er and Xiaoguo'er come in, she spat out the melon seed shells in her mouth.

"Oh, it's Xiao Guo'er, you haven't been here for a while. I thought you had learned your lesson. What trouble have you gotten yourself into now?"

Xiaoguo'er pouted with a look of resentment. Before she could open her mouth, Sheng'er started talking about Xiaoguo'er's "great achievements" like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.

At the end, he commented, "She is so unruly. If not Mother Qin, who else should she punish? She deserves what she deserves!"

"Mother Qin said, 30 lashes."

As Sheng'er spoke, he stretched out his hand and made a circle with his thumb and index finger to form a "three" gesture.

After he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Guo'er's pitiful look. There were still some crumbs of snacks he had just eaten in his mouth. The sweet taste made him change the subject.

"She is a little girl after all, don't be too harsh on her, she still has to do her job, right?"

Mrs. Qian was puzzled because Sheng'er, this little rascal, rarely begged for mercy for others.

"Okay, I know what I'm doing."

As soon as Sheng'er left, Xiao Guoer took out the one or two ounces of silver from her arms, took Qian Po's hand affectionately, and put the silver into Qian Po's palm.

She still acted coquettishly, "Granny Qian, I really did this for Yingniang's sake. I didn't mean to break the rules. Please show some mercy."

Xiao Guoer and Mrs. Qian have some friendship, but of course this friendship is based on money.

She got into trouble many times and came to receive punishment many times, so naturally she had more opportunities to give money to Mrs. Qian.

After a few interactions, the two of them actually developed a wonderful relationship.

She loves money, but her body is the capital for making money. If she is beaten and can't move in bed for ten days or half a month, she won't be able to make money, and the loss will be even greater.

Besides, she was not someone who valued money over her life. Although being punished in this punishment room would not cost her life, the pain would be unbearable.

If you can avoid physical pain, you won’t feel so bad about spending some money.

No one doesn't love money, so Mrs. Qian would naturally not refuse the silver that was handed to her.

If she had money, she would be less forceful; if she didn't have money, she would just follow Qin's mother's instructions and do things according to the rules.

Xiao Guoer is different from others in that she is the best at acting like a spoiled child.

When others come to her to receive punishment, they are either afraid of her or resent her. Who is like this girl who acts like a spoiled child when she sees her?

Not only do men like women who act coquettishly, even women like women who act coquettishly.

Look, now this little girl is holding her hand with her delicate little hand, pouting her lips and complaining softly in a gentle voice, her big eyes flickering, looking straight into my heart.

"You always have so many excuses. Why don't you learn to be a good boy and suffer less?"

Mrs. Qian poked Xiao Guo'er's forehead with a finger, but didn't use much strength.

Put the silver in your hand into your arms.

"Hey, it's not that I'm not good, it's just that I'm unlucky."

"Alright, can your money granny still let you suffer so much? As usual, I'll be gentle and pretend, and you can just lie in the room for a few days and don't let the secret show."

Xiao Guoer smiled, "It's still Granny Qian who cares about me!"

Oh, Xiaoguo'er is getting more and more beautiful. When she smiles like this, I, an old woman, am dazzled. It would be better if she didn't have that scar on her left cheek.

Alas, it’s a pity to waste such a beautiful girl. What a sin.

Xiao Guoer lifted her skirt skillfully and rolled up her trouser legs, revealing her smooth and white calves.

The whip hit her calf with controlled force so it wasn't very painful, but Xiao Guoer still screamed louder and louder, more miserable than the last.

Even from a long distance outside the door of the backyard punishment room, one could hear screams of “Ah,” “Ah,” and “Ah” one after another.

When the servants passing by heard the sound, their hair stood on end, they shrank their necks, and could not help but quicken their pace.

Xiaoguo'er's skin is fair, tender and sensitive, and if she is accidentally scratched by a nail it will leave a mark.

Although Mrs. Qian didn't use much force, the boy was still left with a red and swollen area after being whipped 30 times.

Although it looked red and swollen, it wasn't actually very painful. It was just because her skin was too sensitive.

Xiao Guoer was carried back to the room by two eunuchs hired by Mrs. Qian. They had to perform the whole show.

After returning to the room, he lay on the couch and smeared some blood-red paint on his calves. Only then was Xiao Guoer satisfied.

At first glance, the injuries were horrific.

Well, this is what it looks like to be beaten badly.

Xiao Guoer stood up and picked up the remaining half of the dessert, put a piece into her mouth. The sweet and crispy taste melted in her mouth, and her eyes narrowed in satisfaction. It was so delicious.

Although her leg injury did not affect her walking, she needed to stay in the room for a few days and pretend to be recovering from the injury.

Xiao Guoer felt suffocated thinking about staying in this room without being able to go out.

I turned over the pillow, looked at the remaining change, and sighed. It's so hard to save money!

I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't figure out any way to make a lot of money in a short period of time.

I originally thought that with her advanced awareness and rich knowledge, she could easily make money in this era.

But unexpectedly, contrary to her expectations, making money was not as easy as she had imagined.

In the time-travel novels that I read in modern times, the heroines could easily become the richest person or the most wealthy person in the world. They were all lies.

In fact, it is not the case at all. There is nothing wrong with being a little rich, but it is difficult to become extremely rich.

And she needs lots and lots of money.

The main problem is that this era cannot be compared with the modern era of rapid development of civilization.

In this era, only families with better financial conditions would teach their children to read and write. Although pens, ink, paper and inkstones were not considered luxuries, they were indeed useless to poor families.

When she first wanted to make money, she went back to her old profession. She thought that if she wrote those novel and interesting modern stories into storybooks, they would definitely sell well and she would make a fortune.

But the result was that, although the novels she wrote were indeed quite popular, the income was not as much as she had expected. The reason was that in that era, reading was not a popular activity.

Xiao Guoer had many ideas for making money in her mind, but she brushed them off one by one, always feeling that it would not be ideal to implement them in this era.

The more I thought about it, the more frustrated I became, and the angrier I became.

If that general hadn't insisted on looking for Yingniang today for no apparent reason, she wouldn't have lost several taels of silver for no reason!

How hard it is to make money!

Xiao Guoer was thinking about how to make up for the lost few taels of silver when the door of the room was pushed open with a creaky sound.

Xiao Guoer hurriedly lowered her skirt that had been rolled up to her waist to cover her calves. When she saw that the person coming was Yingniang, she lazily lay back on the couch.

"Sister, are you okay?"

She and Yingniang were master and servant in public, but they were like sisters in private.

Yingniang recalled the look in Chen Fengyao's eyes, which were full of desire, and felt frightened.

He nodded slightly with a worried look on his face, "Well, Zhou Lang said that the road ahead will be even more difficult."
