Chapter 539 The Mask of Survival

5days ago traverse Novels 2
The gray houses in Jinyang are completely different from those in Tokyo and Yangzhou. They are mostly hard hip roofs... which look like they are particularly narrow eaves.

Perhaps because of the low rain and windy climate in Hedong.

In Hongying's eyes, even if this place is the mansion of a famous general in the Northern Han Dynasty, the environment is very poor, but she doesn't care.

Women naturally like elegant or luxurious environments, but Hongying has seen it a lot and doesn't care much about this kind of thing; in contrast, what makes her more unbearable in Tokyo is boredom.

A man with broken feet, a woman, staying in the house all day long, is boring and difficult to bear.

This time she came to Beihan, she volunteered and no one forced her.

The Khitans gave her a cruel nightmare, and she certainly felt hatred in her heart; but hatred was not the whole reason why she was willing to come to the Northern Han Dynasty. Another reason was that she wanted to come purely, that was, it was too boring in Tokyo.

Hongying stayed in the wing where she lived for a while, then got up and found a piece of cloth, and slowly cleaned the room... Of course, she was not interested in cleaning the room at all. If she liked to do this, why should she learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?

She did these virtuous things because Yang Ye was coming soon.

If Yang Ye has no interest in himself, would he be willing to give up a good horse worth 200 knots?

Hongying has never been a prostitute, but she has not seen men as a concubine, and she knows men's minds very well.

People like Yang Ye are obviously in the style of an official family and a fame and fortune. He is very cautious; but he is also very young, strong, passionate and strong, and generally cannot be without enthusiasm for beauty.

If she had let Hongying do such a table cleaning job at Chen Jiali's house, she would feel that it would be boring because there was a servant doing it.But now, she doesn't find it boring, and she's patient because she has expectations.

Everyone is making a show, but sometimes the show is deliberately arranged, just like meeting Yang Ye by chance.

It was a pre-prepared play, but the play was really real... If Hongying hadn't seen it personally, she would have never heard of this method; generally speaking, or beauty tricks, would they be given out directly, so how could it be so meticulous?

Anyway, Hongying has never seen it, so Yang Ye may not have thought of it either.

It’s just because it’s too real that Hongying himself is involved in the show.

At the door of the brothel, she was sold and begged hard, and suddenly she felt that the woman was very sad, and her tears were a little real.

Hongying sighed, thinking that she would not really encounter such a thing, so she was a little relieved... Chen Jiali was still a very kind person to her people. It was impossible for her to sell her to a brothel. Moreover, this time she was working for the imperial emperor, so the emperor could not have made any contribution.

At this moment, Yang Ye was indeed pushing the door and walking in.Hongying was delighted on her face, and she turned around excitedly and shyly, then lowered her head and made a blessing: I have seen General Yang.

Yang Ye said expressionlessly: Are you still used to living here?

Hongying hurriedly said: Being able to be in General Yang's mansion is my blessing, and there is no better place than this.

Yang Ye's face was still calm, but Hongying could feel that he was very helpful.

If others admire what he has, they will probably not be unhappy; on the contrary, if they say what he does not have, they will be looking for trouble.

Yang Ye said again: You used to be a businessman's house, so you wanted to do such housework?He particularly emphasized the word businessman, even if he was a businessman in a luxurious manner.

Hongying didn't care at all, and of course she wouldn't argue.

He immediately replied softly: If Ah Lang likes it, I don’t have to do it; when I am neglected, I am like a slave.However, at General Yang's mansion, I am willing to serve you tea and water, and I want to do my best to repay my kindness.

snort.Yang Ye sat down on the chair.Hongying made tea for him happily again.

Yang Ye sat there, holding the lid of the cup and stroking the water surface, and said seriously: I came today to ask you about your origin.

Please ask my benefactor to ask, but I certainly dare not hide it.

When Hongying first heard this, she felt a little nervous in her intuition, after all, she felt guilty.

But he was relieved soon and understood what it meant... In fact, Yang Ye didn't doubt himself at all, but he was in a hurry to see him and had to find an excuse.

Interrogating an identity is a very good reason for the scene.

In Hongying's opinion, this kind of man is quite realistic. He is not the kind of person who just talks sweetly when he sees the beautiful woman he likes; then when he likes, he gets tired of it, and usually he will abandon it like a piece of shoes when he gets tired of it.

Yang Ye is obviously not. There are no outsiders here, and he is so hiding and unable to let go. He seems to be rarely close to women, and he is a little shy... Yang Ye's shyness is to make excuses to hide it.

But men like Yang Ye are not reliable. He cares more about his feathers, and women are not in his heart.

But Yang Ye is quite good. He is a kind and sympathetic person, so he will help him; this is better than most high-ranking officials in the world.

In fact, how many pragmatic men in this world think women are important?

Unless in marriage, both parties have something in common tied together.

If Hongying was a young lady who was not well-versed in the world, she would probably believe it, but she was not.

Although people like Yang Ye have good conditions, what does it have to do with Hongying?

He does not belong to Hongying... and he doesn't know how to please women.

What people care most about is themselves, even the Hongying with a very low status; Yang Ye always wants to show how he has status and how a gentleman is, but ignores Hongying's feelings, how can he get Hongying's heart?

Hongying held him with all her heart, making him happy... because now she needs Yang Ye, not Yang Ye can't let her go.

Yang Ye quickly asked the first question: How are your feet disabled?

Hongying immediately looked sad and sighed: My master is a merchant from Yangzhou, with his surname Chen. Once, he took the merchant gang to Youzhou and was robbed by the Khitans. It was fine when I went there several times before. That time, the deal was very big, so the owner went there in person and took me to wait for the two sisters... My sister had been tortured to death by the Khitans. I was driven to the burned charcoal for fun by them. My feet were burned and almost roasted, so I could only saw them off to survive. She said as she shook her head, her face turned pale.

Because that is not fabrication, but it is a real thing, like a nightmare deeply engraved in my heart.

After hearing this, Yang Ye looked angry and obviously dissatisfied with the Khitans.

Hongying heard what Chen Jiali said that although the Northern Han was an ally of the Khitan, it was not really good to the Khitan, but just needed to use each other.In fact, the Northern Han Dynasty, whether it was the court or the people, would have no favorable impressions from the Liao people.

Hongying was silent for a moment and said: After being redeemed, I was unable to return to Yangzhou. I stayed in Hebei for a while and arrived in Jinyang again.Later, because the Shen family lost the head of the family, the poor management of the family, and the loss in Youzhou was too great and the foreign debt could not be paid off, so they cleaned up all the valuable things except the ancestral home to the creditors.I am in Jinyang and I am not spared.

After saying that, she started crying. I became like this and was sold to a brothel.I originally wanted to die...

Yang Ye was both annoyed and sympathetic and said: It's really miserable.

Hongying secretly glanced at him, held the crutch and stepped forward two steps, knelt in front of Yang Ye, and choked and said: Fortunately, my benefactor helped me.

Forget it.Yang Ye said calmly, but doing good deeds is not a bad thing.

Hongying whispered: I am also a blessing in disguise. If I had to be sold to such a dirty place, how could I meet General Yang like this... I am young and in a high position, a decent and talented gentleman...

After hearing this, Yang Ye reached out to support Hongying: You are also a pretty person, don’t be polite, just get up.

Hongying blushed when she was touched by her arm. She hadn't come into contact with a man for too long. Of course, a man like Yang Ye would not make the little lady disgusted.

But he touched it for a moment, then retracted his hand, and asked seriously: By the way, your name is Hong...

When I say my benefactor, my name is Hongying.

Hongying's feelings were still a little bad. The other party was serious and pretended to be eager. He couldn't even remember his name... Hongying knew that he had a low status, but with such a feeling, how could he feel intimate?

Yang Ye is a gentleman, not as good as a woman, and is very noble and worthy of respect; but Hongying feels that she is very mean, and that feeling... is an intuition or illusion, as if she is unattractive as a woman, she will be very hit; she also seems to be doing a prostitute, exchanging herself for something else.

Anyway, I basically have no mood at all.

She had no impulse or emotions, so she became very calm, knowing in her heart that she was indeed selling and exchanging her body for something.

She said softly: I don’t know how to repay my benefactor’s great kindness and be wholeheartedly...

As soon as she said this, she wanted to stand up, but the fake foot under her feet did not stand firmly and immediately threw herself into Yang Ye's arms, and her warm and soft body was pressed against Yang Ye.

Hongying hurriedly said: Oh!I didn't mean it...

Yang Ye supported her and his face turned a little red: Please slow down.

Hongying said softly: I want to get close to General Yang, but I know that you are a gentleman and respect and admiration in your heart. It’s all my fault that I can’t help it... Don’t you hate me?

No, no... Yang Ye's breathing also became rapid.

Hongying continued to tell the story, and was also dispelling his concerns: I was bought by General Yang, whether it is a concubine or a servant, it is just yours.It is natural for Nuer to serve Alang. I am also very happy to be able to repay General Yang in this way, as long as you don’t dislike him.

Yang Ye said: What do I dislike?

Hongying lowered her eyebrows and said: I think I am disabled, I know I am not good enough...

In fact, she just doesn't have enough, and may not be very useful in daily life, but she is very beautiful in other places and is not bad at sleeping.

Hongying has taken the initiative and made it very obvious, but Yang Ye still remained steady.She said again: My feet hurt a little, can General Yang carry me to the bed to rest for a while?
