Employed husband

Zheng Purlin likes to start work an hour earlier.Firstly, it is not easy to be late, and secondly, be diligent, work more and learn more, and strive for an early promotion.The more monthly money you get, the sooner you can leave the brothel and start your own business.

At this moment, she was fetching water by the well in the backyard, preparing to clean the front building, when she suddenly heard someone calling her above her head: "Brother, the new brother Zheng."

Looking up, it was a pretty girl in red leaning against the railing on the third floor.

The brothel girls' residences are also particular about everything, from the first floor to the third floor, the level of the floor is the level of status.The girls on the third floor are the most prestigious. There are only two or three masters and mothers living on the entire floor, and the rest are maids who serve them.

As for the small courtyards on both sides, it is a place that only oirans can enjoy.One of the previous oirans was raised as a concubine by the rich and powerful, and the other unfortunately fell ill and passed away.The current oiran has not yet been elected and is still vacant.

Zheng Purlin made a bow to the girl upstairs: "What do you want my sister to tell me?"

The red-clothed girl threw down a purse and said: "My slave's Hong'er serves Miss Ziyuan in the middle room. Please go to Daji to buy a piece of old Wang's Yurong Cake. Our girl likes to eat it. Just bring it back to the girl's room."

The women in the building are not allowed to go out at will on weekdays, and it is common to send servants to buy things, which is not surprising.

Zheng Purlin took the purse and weighed it, reckoning there were at least two hundred copper coins in it, wondering if it was too much?In her opinion, Yurong Cake is a hair cake with fancy decorations, and the best one costs only [-] cents.For the sake of caution, I asked a few more words: "I only need one copy, right? But do you need other things?"

After receiving Hong'er's negative answer, Zheng Purlin opened the purse in front of her, counted it quickly and said, "I'll charge you 220 and three Wen, I'll go right away, and try to come back in two minutes." After saying that, he quickly ran out the door.

In Ziyuan's room, high-quality incense is inserted in a three-legged white-glazed censer, and the light smoke rises straight up, giving an elegant fragrance.The master closed his eyes and leaned on the beauty couch, holding the round fan and gently shaking it rhythmically: "Has he counted?"

"Back to the girl, he counted and said that he will come back as soon as possible within two minutes."

"It's not a slow run... Let's wait and see if his time estimate is accurate."

The two quarters were loose for Zheng Lin, and when she came back from Daji, the Yurong Cake was still steaming.

He ran up to the third floor and knocked on the door of the middle room, Hong'er came to answer.The fragrance wafts out as the door opens, rich and elegant but not greasy.Zheng Purlin looked up and glanced at the room, and saw that the silk screen blocked the interior, and the front of the screen did not depict beauties, flowers and birds, but a picture of a bamboo forest under the moon...

She lowered her eyes and didn't continue to explore. After all, she appeared as a man, and it was too inappropriate to spy on a woman's boudoir. She handed back the things in her hands to Hong'er and said, "Sister Hong'er accepts 220 yuan, and the price of the best jade cake is raised to 88 yuan. There are five papers on oiled paper, a total of 93 papers, leaving 130 papers, can you confirm, sister?"

Hong'er really wasn't polite to her, she counted on the spot without saying a word, covered her lips with a smile and said, "Brother, you can do your mental calculation...others... are also fine."

Zheng Purlin smiled, curled his lips in his heart and thought to himself—he was really testing her.

"Hong'er, give my little brother [-] Wen as a reward." A voice like a yellow warbler suddenly came from behind the screen.

"Yes, girl."

Thirty cents for running errands is not a small reward!But what surprised Zheng Lin was not the easy-to-get copper coins. She was so impressed by the voice, wasn't it the purple-clothed woman who was with her on Aunt's Day? !

After accepting the tip, she couldn't help but said: "I would venture to ask, Miss Zi Yuan last year on Aunt's Day... But did you buy green plum juice in front of Xingye Temple?"

The person inside smiled sweetly: "Yes, my brother washed the slave's handkerchief and brought it here specially." After saying that, he took another girl's hand and walked out gracefully.

"Ah!" Seeing Zi Yuan's true face, Zheng Purlin couldn't help exclaiming, almost even popping up "So it's you", but luckily held back in time.

This...isn't this... the Ziyi sister she is determined to be a fan of? !Handkerchiefs were delivered in front of the stall, lights were put on by the river, and the upstairs was amazing. Several figures from different periods overlapped in one place. She was a little happy and a little embarrassed.

"I didn't know where my sister was at the time, so there was no way to talk about giving the handkerchief. So... I kept it, and I was afraid I couldn't return it to my sister." Zheng Purin blushed and bowed to apologize.

Ziyuan raised her hand with a round fan, signaling that there is no need to be too polite: "I was joking, and I originally gave it to my younger brother, so I can use it conveniently. Now it seems that my younger brother has a predestined relationship with the slave family, and the slave family also appreciates your straightforwardness. , why don't you move around in the future, please do more things for the slave family, the slave family will not treat the younger brother badly."

The girls in the building usually have one or two acquaintances who run errands for them.If a girl becomes an oiran, the familiar servant is the first choice for the exclusive servant of the oiran.The job is easy, the status is not bad, and the social network is wide. It is the most popular position that the brothel handyman yearns for.

Ziyuan said so today, probably because she likes her cleverness and wants to recruit her.The goddess calls!Zheng Purlin was naturally happy, and readily agreed, and then went downstairs to continue working.

Back in the house, Juan'er was a little unhappy and said: "Girl, I don't think this person is as good as you said, look at the way he looks at you, he is not the same as the men outside!"

Zi Yuan lightly pounced on the tip of her nose, closed her fan and said, "It's different."

Yes, she saw it very clearly, it was different.Zheng Purlin's eyes were full of surprises, appreciation, and even some admiration, but no desire.

Since then, apart from working in the front building, Zheng Purn has added another job to run errands for Miss Ziyuan.

Because Ziyuan is one of the most favorable competitors for the oiran in the lower realm, many people in the building are jealous and secretly arrange Zheng Lin behind the scenes, saying that she will flatter and climb high, she is so cunning!

Liu Zi already had grievances in his heart, but he was even more upset when he heard the provocation, and he was often angry with her.Only the simple and honest Mo Erlang touched his nose and said nothing, continuing to work honestly.

Seeing it, Zheng Purlin secretly sighed in his heart that the brain is a good thing, as for whether it grows or not?You can't really tell just by looking at the face.If you don't believe me, look at Erlang, who is so foolish and perfectly interprets what it means to be wise and foolish.

The longer the relationship, the more Zheng Purlin likes Sister Ziyuan and her two girls.

My sister is well-read, chats well with Zheng Lin, and often has witty remarks, and likes to tease her, watching her blush and giggle.It's just that Ziyuan's status is high, and the building is particularly taboo that the popular girl has too much private contact with the servant. To avoid suspicion, the two can only talk a few words each time, which is really not very enjoyable.

Juan'er is a little older, a little reticent, and very loyal to Zi Yuan.Xu Shi and Zheng Purn's personalities don't match, and they can't continue the conversation after a few words, but it's still polite.Hong'er was young, she liked to talk and laugh, and became Zheng Lin's other friend besides Mo Erlang.

The brothel is probably the most perfect and complete display of the dark side of this society. Every night there is a lot of traffic, silk and bamboo string songs, the fragrance of wine and meat, and pleasure-seeking. It is luxurious and indulgent. It is no wonder that most people are easily attracted by the darkness, and they are willing to sink into it. .

Officials were strictly prohibited from entering brothels, but they had been in this business for a long time, and they knew the secrets. Officials could still show their ambitions in casual clothes.As for their family members, those who are not official are even more unscrupulous.

Many state officials and sons came to the building today, and the second floor seemed to be the start of the game.Zheng Lin didn't know the name or the way, but he probably understood that it was a big gamble, and the money he won or lost every time could probably buy half a block of Daji.But it has nothing to do with her. She is immersed in her work, not listening to what she shouldn't be listening to, and not watching what she shouldn't be watching.

After leaving the kitchen with the jug in hand, Zheng Purlin had just entered the front building through the side door when he saw Hong'er looking around in the yard.

Seeing Zheng Lin, Hong'er smiled and walked over with a wave.Zheng Purlin also smiled, and was just about to wave his hand to answer Hong'er...

A young man in black suddenly came between the two of them, his eyes were bright and he blocked Hong'er's way with malicious intentions, and Zheng Lin's heart "suddenly" hung high!
