The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

Chapter 301: Ruby

"My name is Hongyu, greetings to you, sir." Hongyu lowered her head, revealing the fair skin on the back of her neck, her eyes revealing a seductive look.

It's not that the woman wants to seduce him, but life has made her accustomed to doing so subconsciously.

Qingyin had some idea of the woman's identity.

"Hello, sit down."

A huanghuali wood chair appeared behind the woman.

Hongyu was a little surprised and a little happy.

She sat down calmly, covered her red lips with the handkerchief in her hand, and said with a smile: "This time, I think you can complete my task?"

There was something familiar in the way Hongyu looked at Qingyin, as if she was looking through Qingyin at someone she once admired and missed.

"Then I won't say much. I will just tell you my wish."

"Ah."

"I was once a daughter of a poor family. My family loved me, but they were no match for the natural disaster. A flood left me alone to escape."

"I was too young at the time, so I could only follow the crowd of people who were in Taoyuan. We walked until we reached Huaihe County, which was much better than my hometown. People on the road also had a lot more money. I picked up the half-broken bones that the children didn't want and ate the rotten oranges that people threw away. I ate whatever I could and survived."

"Finally, he was so bold that he even dared to snatch things from people's hands. Isn't this causing big trouble?"

Hongyu smiled foolishly, without a trace of pain in her eyes, but rather a sense of nostalgia.

"The skinny man touched my body and found that I was a girl. He then took me into the Red Mansion, where I met Hongniang."

When the word "matchmaker" was mentioned, Qingyin discovered that the woman deliberately slowed down her speech, and her words were lingering and her emotions were extremely complicated.

Hongyu didn't notice Qingyin's observation. She continued to speak slowly:

"Hongniang, she is a pitiful woman, but also the most determined woman in the world. She taught me how to dance, sing, read, play the zither, and charm people. Under her guidance, my body became soft and charming, and I became mature. I replaced her and became the most beautiful courtesan in the Red Mansion."

"But I was not happy. My wish of not being hungry and having beautiful clothes to wear was fulfilled, but I was still not satisfied. Hongniang's eyes always showed a fire that I didn't understand. That fire burned me and I refused to do it, but Hongniang didn't say anything."

"Later, Hongniang died. She was still so beautiful, but I could no longer see or touch the fire in her eyes. Later, I often thought of the path Hongniang asked me about at the beginning, and I regretted it. So, my lord, I would like to ask you to take a path that I did not take in my previous life, so that Hongniang would be happy."

Hongyu looked at Qingyin persistently, and Qingyin answered without hesitation: "Okay."

Hongyu smiled, and the sadness in her eyes seemed to ease a little.

"Then my lord, I have to get on the road now." As she said this, Hongyu twisted her slender waist and walked into the river of time.

Swaying, like a beautiful rose swaying in the fire.

Qingyin also followed him into the river.

The moment he regained consciousness, Qingyin first felt a burning pain in his body, as if someone was stepping hard on his back. Waves of pain came, and then he relaxed. Before Qingyin could breathe a sigh of relief, whips came at him.

Her body subconsciously trembled in pain, and Qingyin heard a hoarse voice above her head, saying, "Don't beat him to death. Hongniang still needs this brat, just teach him a lesson."

When Qingyin woke up again, he vomited two mouthfuls of blood and felt severe pain all over his body.

Then the memories of the original body in this life and the previous life entered into the mind, causing waves of dull pain.
