After traveling through time, she still led the villagers to make money as a county magistrate

Chapter 127 Oiran

"what?"

"How about I teach you how to read and write?"

Sun Yun's words refreshed Mengchun's cognition again and again, like a beam of light shining into her dark room, making her feel a little warmth.

But this trace of warmth came a little late and was too weak. Mengchun smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "There's no need. I can read and write, but I just did it on a whim. It can't make a living." Then Mengchun tore the paper in his hand into pieces.

"Write your letter and I will deliver it to you. Don't worry about anything else." Mengchun threw the scraps of paper in his hand away, his eyes darkening.

Sun Yun swallowed hard. The man before her was even more perverted and unpredictable than she had imagined. Was she really just too young?

Wait, the most important thing for her now is how to write useful information in the letter, but...but she doesn't have any useful information to send out now.

She knew nothing. She was just a maid and didn't even know the most basic rules here.

So the main purpose of this letter was to report safety, but reporting safety needed to have a deadline. Halfway through writing, Sun Yun looked up and asked again, "How long will I stay here?"

Meng Chun said impatiently while trimming her nails, "Didn't you say that after I became the oiran? What, are you regretting it again?"

"Don't lie to me, Oiran... Do you care?" Sun Yun's pen tip stopped at one point, and the word "An" was thickly smudged out.

Meng Chun paused while trimming her nails, then laughed and said, "What are you talking about? Who here doesn't want to be an oiran?"

"I'm afraid you simply don't care!"

Sun Yun raised her eyebrows, then waved her hands and said, "I don't care about these. You just need to tell me how long I have to stay here and how long it will take before I can leave. I mean to leave in one piece."

"Half a year." After a long time, Mengchun slowly uttered two words.

Sun Yun continued writing with her stagnant hands, thinking that half a year was about enough.

Mengchun nudged Sun Yun with her arm and said, "Hey, little girl, how do you know I don't want to be an oiran?"

"Because you are so old, it's impossible, no matter how beautiful you are." Sun Yun handed the letter to Meng Chun, "Here, take a look!"

Mengchun took the paper and said, "Your handwriting is indeed very good. Wow, it's a pity that you didn't take the imperial examination."

"Sister, you think I am suitable for taking the imperial examination. How obsessed are you with becoming an official?" Sun Yun said helplessly.

Mengchun slowly tightened his grip on the paper, and without replying, he said, "That's all. I'll give it to you, to your lover, right?"

After saying that, Meng Chun took the letter and walked out of the room, went to a secret place, came to a house, pulled out a painting, and a rotating mechanism appeared in front of him. Meng Chun turned half a circle to the right and then turned a circle to the left. The door slowly moved open, and a long row of stairs appeared in front of him.

Mengchun walked in without hesitation, and the candles on both sides were lit.

After climbing all the stairs, a large open space appeared in front of them. Meng Chun shouted, "Master, Master, Master."

This time she came to see him on short notice. Mengchun was wondering in her heart whether she could see him.

"Bold." A familiar and majestic voice sounded.

Meng Chun knelt on the ground and said, "Master, there are strange people in Lanyue Tower recently... I came to inform you."

"Oh~"

The candles around him lit up one by one. Meng Chun looked up to see the face of the person who came, then lowered his head, swallowed, and raised the letter in his hand above his head.

The man took the paper and frowned slightly, "What is this? A peace letter. Who have you arrested again?"

"I told you not to arrest people randomly, why don't you listen every time?"

"But...but she's disguised as a man and her behavior is suspicious."

The man threw the letter in his hand in her face and said in a voice that left no room for doubt, "Let him go."

"We have to be careful now and not alert the enemy."

"But she's a beauty..."

"Beauty...", the man touched his chin thoughtfully.

"Have you investigated her family background?"

Hearing this, Mengchun knew that he was shaken. After all, she knew that Lanyue Tower had the most beauties... and also the most in need of beauties... After all, those beauties had a time limit.

"I will first calm her down and then slowly investigate. I will never cause any trouble to my master."

The man reached out and lifted Mengchun's chin, chuckling, "Mengchun, Mengchun, I know you are a smart person, but you must use your intelligence in the right place."

This sentence was a compliment but also a warning. Meng Chun swallowed her saliva and said quickly to show her loyalty, "My life was given by the master. I only have the master to rely on."

The man nodded in satisfaction, slowly walked to the only seat and sat down. He waved towards Mengchun, "Come here."

Mengchun crawled to the man's feet like a dog, "Master."

"How long have you been in Lanyue Tower?"

Mengchun didn't know what he meant, so he answered honestly, "Master, it's been eight years."

"It's been eight years. I'm an old girl at twenty-five," the man said nonchalantly, leaning back.

Just these words scared Meng Chun to death. She was the oldest among the women in Lanyue Tower except for the madam. "Master, even if I have no merits, I have worked hard over the years. You..."

The man stretched out his hand to interrupt her, "You are still useful. I won't let you serve those inferior men."

Mengchun turned to look at the eyes on the mask, but only for a moment before lowering his head again. "Mengchun is stupid, Master, please explain clearly."

The man laughed and pinched Mengchun's chin, "Who said you were stupid? You are smarter than most of them."

"As long as you do one thing for me, the position of the mother in Lanyue Tower will be yours. How about it?"

Mengchun was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What about my mother now..."

The man snorted coldly and released Mengchun's jaw. Mengchun felt pain but didn't dare to make a sound.

"You are a smart person who dares to do things, but you are too kind-hearted." The man pointed to his chest and said.

"In this world, the capable are promoted, and the incompetent perish... This is true in Lanyue Tower, and it is also true in the imperial court..."

Mengchun's heart skipped a beat, and he began to murmur in his mind, "If you can't, you will die..." Does that mean that if I can't complete this task, I will have to die?

The man looked at Mengchun with his dark eyes. Mengchun was frightened by the sudden look and said, "I understand, Master, please give your orders."

The man nodded with satisfaction and took out a piece of paper from his arms. Mengchun opened the paper and saw the words "King Qi" written on it.

Mengchun's eyes suddenly widened, "Why?"

The man's eyes darkened and he said coldly, "Why shouldn't you be the one asking?"

Mengchun lowered her head and said respectfully, "Yes, I know I was wrong."

The man waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."
