Everyone looked at Qiongzhi again and inexplicably felt that she was even more beautiful. It was so strange. Why did they have such a feeling?

Qiongzhi twisted her waist and glanced at the audience with her watery eyes, with a look of satisfaction in her eyes. Today was her virginity day, and if she was favored by a nobleman, it would not be impossible for her to be redeemed and leave Chunxianglou directly.

She had naturally made sufficient preparations, and the maid who followed her was also chosen early on, and she had to be ugly enough to set off her beauty.

He slowly came to the stage and sat on a stool, placed the piano on the long table, and gently plucked the strings with his ten fingers. The pleasant sound flowed out, and the people in the audience were fascinated by it.

Jiang Sheng stared at the maid behind her, staring at her veil, as if he could see through the veil to see the person, wondering if it was the girl he knew.

Qingshan turned his head and saw that his young master was staring at the stage without blinking, and he couldn't help but grin.

Look, no matter how righteously he speaks, his body is honest, and he just likes to look at the top courtesans.

He moved closer and whispered softly, "Sir, if you like, you can redeem me later. It would be great to keep me by your side and serve me."

"With a beautiful woman by your side, you won't feel lonely along the way."

When Jiang Sheng heard this, he looked at him strangely.

"Qingshan, you should get your eyes treated. He's such a big man, but he's stronger than you. He's not a beauty at all."

Jiang Sheng couldn't help but fall into memories.

In his previous life, he met Xianxian. The girl was already a slave and her body was covered with wounds. He couldn't bear to see her, so he gave her a steamed bun.

Unexpectedly, the girl came to him later and followed him wholeheartedly. His hands and feet were cut and as rotten as mud, but the girl served him and never left him...

But later she went to the battlefield and was assassinated and killed tragically. He didn't even get to see her for the last time and died soon after.

After the song ended, thunderous applause broke out.

Qiongzhi stood up slowly, smiled softly, and slowly took off her veil, revealing her stunningly beautiful face, which made everyone excited.

"Beautiful, Miss Qiongzhi is so beautiful. I will pay one hundred taels of silver to take your virginity."

"Two hundred taels!"

"Three hundred taels!"

Jiang Sheng raised his hand and pointed: "I want to ask, can you take off that girl's veil? I want to see her face."

The audience suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at him strangely.

Is this person crazy? The courtesan doesn't want to take pictures of a maid, especially that burly maid who is so ugly that people can't eat. What's the point of buying her home?

The charming woman laughed softly at the sight, flicked the handkerchief in her hand, and walked over slowly, saying with a smile, "Puchi, young master really knows how to joke."

"If you take a picture of Qiongzhi, I'll give you Chouya for free. Don't look at Chouya's ugly appearance, she works very hard, so it's definitely worth it..."

The woman was about to continue chattering when she was interrupted by Jiang Sheng.

"My question hasn't been answered yet. Look at her face. If it's agreeable, I'll just redeem the maid. I don't want to be without time to take care of the Oiran."

He must be mentally ill, that's why he found a delicate beauty to lead the way. Not only did it delay the trip, but she can't do anything. It's so annoying.

The woman saw an impatient look on his face.

He waved his hand and brought Chou Ya over, and pulled off her veil, revealing her face full of acne scars. Chou Ya couldn't help but cover her face and lowered her head in fear.

Seeing that it was really her, Jiang Sheng couldn't help but tears up. He suppressed his complicated emotions and said softly, "Don't be afraid. I will redeem you."

Chou Ya looked at him through her fingers and said timidly, "Thank you. I can do a lot of work. It won't be a loss for you to redeem me."

“Haha, I know it’s not a loss.”

"Name a price. How much silver is needed to redeem her?"

The woman looked at him with complicated eyes, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching. This young man is good-looking, but his brain is not normal.

Handkerchief covered her mouth and coughed twice, then held up five fingers: "Fifty taels, no bargaining, how about I give you the indenture contract directly?"

When Chou Ya put it down after hearing this, she said dissatisfiedly: "Sister, you are wrong. You only spent five taels when you bought me. Why are you selling me for fifty taels now? You are too mean."

The woman glared at her fiercely and said unhappily, "Nonsense! How can I do business at a loss? It doesn't cost me money to support you. I'll give you fifty taels, no bargaining."

"Okay, give me the indenture."

Jiang Sheng took out fifty taels and urged.

Soon the indenture was obtained.

The ugly girl blinked and looked at him, her eyes bright: "Please give me a name, sir."

Jiang Sheng didn't know what he was thinking about, and couldn't help but smile: "Let's call you Xianxian. When you lose weight and your face gets better, you will become very beautiful. This name will suit you."

Murmuring: "Xianxian sounds nice, I like this name, thank you for the name, sir."

The other three looked at each other. Qingshan looked as if he had eaten shit, his face very ugly: "Sir, are you okay? Why would you redeem a maid?"

Jiang Sheng's face turned cold and he looked back at him.

Qingshan hurriedly lowered his head and dared not say anything more.

"Let's go back to the inn."

After Xianxian was brought to the inn, she looked at the clean room and the thick bedding. She looked around and couldn't help but touch it. She looked at Jiang Sheng cautiously.

Jiang Sheng was amused by her and whispered, "This room is for you. The waiter will bring you meals every day. If you want to take a shower, just let me know and hot water will be brought up."

"We're going to stay here for two days. There's no rush to leave."

"By the way, Xianxian, can you ride a horse?"

Xianxian lowered her head and humbly said, "In reply to your question, sir, I used to work in the stables. Later, when my master fell into trouble, I was sold out."

"Of course I know how to ride a horse, but... I'm not that familiar with it."

Jiang Sheng hummed and comforted him, "It's okay. I'll take you to the suburbs to practice tomorrow. If you know a little bit, you'll learn quickly."

"Yes, I will obey you, sir."

"It's getting late, go to bed early."

Two days passed in a flash. After Jiang Sheng got the hidden weapons from the iron shop, he put some of the things into the space and prepared to return to the inn to leave the city early the next morning.

When Xianxian saw him, she trotted over, grabbed his hand and ran, looking in the direction of the pharmacy with fear in her eyes.

He pulled the man into the alley before stopping.

Jiang Sheng looked at her puzzledly and asked, "What happened to Xianxian?"

"Hoohoo, sir, have you noticed that there have been a lot more people visiting the clinic recently, and they all seem to have the same symptoms: pustules on their faces."

"...It seems so. What's the problem with that?"

Xianxian touched her face, a trace of sadness in her eyes, and she quickly cheered up and said, "Sir, the pits on my face were all pustules at first."

"Later, there was no medicine to treat it, so it slowly rotted away and turned into pits. I remember that this disease was contagious, and that's how we didn't get it in our village."

Jiang Sheng frowned. He had never heard of such a thing in his previous life. Why did it happen unexpectedly in this life? He asked puzzledly, "What about your village? How did the court deal with it in the end?"

After these words were spoken, Xianxian fell silent.

After a long while, he finally spoke: "Many archers came and fired arrows at the village, burning us all to death. The court burned the village and told others that we died of illness."
