Chapter 764
After a moment's silence, she looked at the Inuyanga bastard again and uttered a string of Japanese pirate language.
The Inuyang dog mongrel nodded as he listened, and after a while he turned to look at Wei Wu.
"Master, she said that her father took her across the sea to the Japanese pirates to escape the war."
"It was here that his father met her mother, but not long after, he contracted the plague and unfortunately left her."
"She was raised by her mother, who told her from a young age that she was not a Japanese pirate but a Han Chinese!"
After listening to the translation by Inuyanggou Mongrel, not only Wei Wu, but even the members of the Wuchang Squad fell silent.
There is no doubt whether this courtesan is Han Chinese, after all, she has Han blood flowing in her veins.
And it is not difficult to hear from her words that she identifies with her Han Chinese origin. Who dares to say that she is not Han Chinese?
The key is that what she said made sense to Wei Wu.
Judging from the appearance of the courtesan, she was about nineteen or twenty years old. When she was born, the Central Plains was indeed in the midst of war.
At the same time, plagues often broke out in Heian-kyo, where the Japanese pirates lived, because the city was dirty and messy.
It can be seen from the fact that she became a top courtesan that her family background, no, it should be her mother's family background is not very good.
As expected, they should be the lower-class people, and the lower-class people of the Japanese pirates had no access to Chinese language and Chinese characters.
Being raised by a low-class Japanese pirate woman, the fact that she could say the four words "I am Han Chinese" is enough to explain the problem.
The key point is that this courtesan has a good character, which can be seen from the fact that she was angry about the topic of her mother's death just now.
Thinking of this, Wei Wu's eyes softened as he looked at her, and he asked another question.
"What's your name?"
With the help of the translator Inuyanggoumongzhong, there was no obstacle in the communication between the two.
"I follow my mother's surname here. My name is Fukada Masako, and my Chinese name is Lan Longyu."
Wei Wu raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect that this courtesan was actually a relative of Lan Yu, and their names only differed by one character.
But this guy is much stronger than Lan Yu. He is completely crushed at the genetic level!
While joking in his heart, Wei Wu continued to ask:
"Why were you sold here to be a courtesan?"
This is also the question that Wei Wu has always been puzzled about. Logically speaking, since Lan Longyu protects her mother so much, her mother must be very good to her.
But if her mother was really so good to her, why would she sell her to Kabukicho to be trained as an oiran when she was young?
Inuyanga said earlier that the oiran in Kabukicho are all trained from a young age.
When Lan Longyu heard Wei Wu's question, a trace of pain flashed across her face. It took her a while to calm down and tell the reason.
It turned out that she was sold to Kabukicho. No, it should not be said to be sold, because her mother didn't get a penny at all.
She was sent to Kabukicho, forced to do so, because the shogunate discovered that she was a young beauty.
It was from Lan Longyu that Wei Wu learned that Kabukicho was actually the property of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.
At the same time, none of the women in Kabukicho were bought with money; they were all robbed.
Kabukicho relied on the support of the shogunate and would snatch away any pretty girl they saw.
Those with talent will be trained as courtesans, while those without talent will be directly arranged to entertain customers, regardless of their age.
In this process, many young girls were raped to death, but the shogunate earned a lot of wealth.
At the beginning, when Lan Longyu was targeted, those people wanted to take her away, and her mother tried her best to stop them.
It’s a pity that a woman and a child were no match for the robbers and were almost beaten to death on the spot.
It is said that children from poor families grow up early. Like Lan Longyu and Fu Qiu, they are both those who grow up early.
Knowing that she was the one who implicated her mother, in order to protect her mother, Lan Longyu took out the hairpin left to her by her father.
She put it against her throat and negotiated with those people. As long as they didn't hurt her mother, she was willing to go with them.
She had already made up her mind that as long as her mother was safe, she would wait for two years and then reunite with her father.
For this reason, she worked particularly hard when she was being raised, and studied diligently in everything she did, so as to avoid those people causing trouble for her mother.
But who would have thought that just when she was about to end her life, she heard a piece of news from other girls that made her despair.
It turns out that she is not the only one. All the girls who have the talent to become the oiran, their relatives are controlled by those people.
The purpose was simple, which was to prevent them from resisting or playing tricks, and to make them work wholeheartedly for the shogunate to make money.
After listening to the story of the translator Inuyanggoumongzhong, Wei Wu finally understood.
No wonder it seemed that Lan Longyu had little respect for Emperor Hou Yuanrong before, and she was not even afraid of Hosokawa Sawato at all.
She believed in her heart that she was a Han Chinese, and as a Han Chinese, she was naturally nobler than the Japanese pirates, even if the other party was the emperor of the Japanese pirates.
At the same time, she did have the intention to die. If her mother had not been in the hands of the enemy, she would have left this world long ago.
The reason why she can say so much to me and others now is probably because we are also Han people.
While feeling impressed by Lan Longyu's strength, Wei Wu was silent for a moment before speaking:
"Do you need me to redeem you?"
"No, my mother can only survive if I stay here. If I leave, they won't support her."
Seeing Lan Longyu's decisive refusal, Wei Wu suddenly laughed and turned to look at his men.
"This is a great opportunity for a hero to save his mother-in-law! It depends on whether Shen Lin can seize it and bring you a sister-in-law."
Hearing Wei Wu's words, everyone in the Wuchang team started laughing.
Seeing them laughing, Lan Longyu couldn't help but frown, not understanding why they laughed after listening to her story.
The Inuyanggou bastard looked at her in embarrassment, not knowing whether he should translate what Wei Wu said.
Seeing that the dog-raising bastard didn't speak to translate, Lan Longyu simply pretended not to see it and looked at them indifferently.
Anyway, in her heart, she was already a body with a dead soul. As long as her mother was alive, nothing else mattered.
While Wei Wu and others were laughing, Shen Lin, the male protagonist, also began his own actions.
After he came out of the teahouse, he kept hiding in the dark, secretly watching Hosokawa Sawato's lackeys.
As a result, this lackey stood at the door like a fool for a long time, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Just when Shen Lin couldn't help but prepare to take action, this guy finally started to act.
Seeing this, Shen Lin also followed quietly.
