Chapter 259 Chapter 259 Meeting Han'er Again

Not long after, the servant girl came for dinner. Five side dishes were squirrel mandarin fish, gourd duck with eight treasures, multicolored lotus crisps, blooming flowers, and spring bamboo shoots. They were all famous local dishes in Suzhou, simple but delicate.The two chatted over wine under the lamp, and they were very happy.Hu Yin is a popular famous prostitute in Suzhou, her appointments are already fully booked, and there are several other appointments that night.When Aunt Shi came in to refill tea and pour wine, she hinted at her twice, reminding her to prepare early.Zhao Guan knew it well, after eating the snacks, he said that he still had an appointment with his friends in the evening, and got up to leave.

Hu Yin sent him out, and said: I really enjoyed my heart-to-heart talk with Yueqing today, but it's a pity that the time is too short to have a good time.Please Yueqing must come to see me again. Zhao Guan laughed and said: I'm afraid Miss Hu is too busy to see me.Hu Yin hurriedly said: Yueqing, don't say that.She reached out to hold his hand and said in a low voice: As long as you have the heart, I will find a way to spare time to accompany you. Zhao Guan knew that this was a common trick used by prostitutes to keep customers, but Miss Hu's expression seemed very sincere, as if her words were sincere, without the slightest hint of hypocrisy, so she nodded with a smile, but she couldn't help but wonder: I'm in Hangzhou. When I saw her, she hadn't seen my real face, and obviously couldn't recognize me.There seems to be another reason for her being so attentive to me.Why is this woman so familiar, as if I have known her for a long time.Not just met once in Hangzhou.Have I seen her elsewhere?I couldn't remember it for a while, but seeing Aunt Shi waiting to see off the guests, I left.

This Hu Yin girl is indeed Fang Rouqing who used to hide in Liu Si Shao's house in Hangzhou to avoid misfortune, that is, Zhou Han'er, the official lady of the capital who Zhao Guan rescued when he was young.When in Hangzhou, Zhao Guan once met her disguised as Shangguan Qianhui, but she had not met Zhao Guan.This was the first time Zhou Han'er saw Zhao Guan after the farewell outside the capital's house back then, and secretly felt that Shen Yueqing looked very familiar, and her heart was full of doubts. She came back from the entertainment that night, returned to her room, washed and removed her makeup, and then lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.When the servant girl fell asleep, her heart moved, she got out of bed quietly, rummaged through the old clothes, and found a cotton handkerchief.She looked at the veil, a handsome child's face vaguely floated in front of her eyes, her heart was beating wildly: Could it be him?No, the Qingfeng Pavilion was burned down long ago, how could he still be alive?But considering his age, he should be this old.Oh, what am I thinking about?It must not be him.

She has greeted guests for many years, and she has long ignored men's handsome, ugly, elegant, tall, short, fat, thin, as long as they are guests, they have to be courteous, how can she choose?Drinking and chatting with Shen Yueqing tonight, he has a handsome face, humorous conversation, and friendly demeanor, her presence made her fall in love with her, and she only hoped to see him again.But as a brothel woman, how can she choose the guests?You want to see him, but he doesn't want to see you, there is nothing you can do.Thinking of this, Hu Yin couldn't help being filled with troubles and sorrows. He stroked the cotton towel, old hatred and new worries welled up in his heart, and the tears that hadn't shed for many years rolled down again, soaking a piece of pillow.

Fortunately, the next morning, Uncle Shen posted another post asking Hu Yin to serve him a banquet in the evening.Aunt Shi was overjoyed, she immediately turned down her scheduled appointment, and said: Ah Yin, I have already asked someone, this Mr. Shen is a wealthy businessman in Hangzhou, a famous wanderer.If you can catch this big golden turtle, it will be your luck.In the next three years, you will have a lot of money! Hu Yin ignored her, put on her make-up carefully in the evening, looked back and forth in the mirror for a long time, and then took a sedan chair to the Moon Viewing Pavilion by the Taihu Lake.She only knew that Uncle Shen was entertaining guests, but she didn't know that he was the only one in the pavilion, she felt a little surprised, but couldn't help but secretly rejoiced.

Zhao Guan saw Hu Yin sweeping his eyebrows lightly, wearing a pink gauze dress, shaking the fan in his hand, like a heavenly being, hurriedly got up to greet her, asked her to sit down, smiled and said: Miss Hu is as beautiful as a fairy tonight, I am an ordinary person, not many After drinking a little wine, I dare not talk to fairies.As he spoke, he personally poured wine into two glasses, and offered her a glass to drink. Hu Yin thanked him for drinking, and his cheeks flushed, making them more beautiful.Zhao Guan chatted with her casually, smelling her body fragrance in his nose, making him feel ecstatic, but seeing a strand of her beautiful hair being blown away by the lake wind, he stretched out his hand to tidy her temples, caressing her as soft as fat cheeks.Hu Yin felt as if his whole body was about to melt, so he lowered his head and leaned gently in his arms.

Zhao Guan smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass and drank it down, thinking: The world's number one prostitute really deserves her reputation!Its appearance is extremely vulgar, soft and charming, without losing its elegance, it makes people get drunk before drinking.There are so many courtyards under my Baihuamen, but there are not many girls who can compare with her. While slightly drunk, Hu Yin took out the cotton veil he found last night from his bosom, and lightly wiped the sweat on his forehead.Seeing that Zhao Guan didn't seem to be paying attention, she was slightly disappointed: What am I thinking about?How could it be him?Even if it was him, he should have forgotten me a long time ago, so how could he remember this square handkerchief?Then he took the cotton handkerchief back into his arms.

Zhao Guan had already paid attention, and said with a smile: "Miss Hu, with all due respect, this veil doesn't quite match your attire.Hu Yin blushed, and said: I brought the wrong one temporarily, please don't take offense, Qing Yue. Zhao Guan reached out to take the handkerchief, looked at it over and over again, recognized it was his old thing, and wondered: How could she have my handkerchief?When I left the Qingfeng Pavilion in a hurry, I definitely didn't wear any handkerchiefs, and the Qingfeng Pavilion was burned down by me.It must have been at some point before I left home that I gave the handkerchief to someone else, but when was that?After thinking for a long time, it suddenly dawned on me: it turned out to be her!I didn't recognize her when I was in Hangzhou!That's right, Hu Yin Hu Yin, isn't it the word Zhou Han!Zhou Han'er, the daughter of a high official in the capital, was caught by two imperial guards to sell her smoke and water, and fled to my Qingfeng Pavilion. I secretly took the Qinggang grain ship all the way and sent her back to her home in the capital.After being a high official, how could he fall into prostitution?Said: Do you know what this veil reminds me of?

Hu Yin said, "Please speak, Yueqing."Zhao Guandao: This handkerchief is not worthy of you, it is like a broom made of golden branches and jade leaves, and a daughter of a thousand pieces of gold is a lowly servant. After hearing this, Hu Yin felt a sudden soreness in his heart, tears streaming down his face involuntarily.She has been a prostitute for many years, and she has never lost her composure in front of customers, but Zhao Guan's two words made her unable to control herself, tears streaming down her face, she was also very surprised, she hurriedly turned her head away, trying to cover up, but she was speechless.

Zhao Guan's heart was clear, he gently held her hands, and said in a low voice: "I know who you are now!"Miss Zhou, I'm Zhao Guan. Hu Yin didn't have time to wipe away his tears, and stared at him with wide beautiful eyes, still in disbelief, and tremblingly said: "It's really you?"I only knew that you had died in the fire, but it turns out that you are still alive! Zhao Guan smiled and said: "Hold your son and sister well, your good brother is blessed and lucky, how could he die so easily?"Do you still keep those two Wuxi clay dolls? Zhou Han'er no longer had any doubts in her heart, and couldn't help throwing herself into his arms and weeping bitterly, as if she wanted to confide all the grievances and pains of the past ten years in this cry.Zhao Guan softly comforted her, listening to her intermittently telling the story of her father's imprisonment, her mother's illness and death, and her prostitution, she couldn't help feeling sad.

Zhou Han'er cried for a while, and felt more comfortable. She wiped away her tears and looked up, seeing Zhao Guanti's consoling eyes, feeling warm and grateful in her heart, leaning against his arms and sobbing softly, faintly hearing his heartbeat mixed with it. In the sound of the wind by the lake, his face became hot, and his body shivered uncontrollably.Zhao Guan took off his robe and put it on for her, let her sit on his lap, put his arm around her, stroked her hair with the other hand, and said: Miss Zhou, you have suffered so much these years. Zhou Han'er shook her head and said: I am born with a thin life, what else can I say?Leaving one life, lingering on the last breath, the rest of my life is just that.Zhao Guandao: Don't say that.How can you be so hopeless about life at such a young age?Come on, tell me, what is your greatest wish?I will try my best to do it for you.
