C3 Chapter 3
Although her body was thin and weak, she still had a sense of confidence as she stood there. Qingling smiled indifferently. She threw out a large ingot of silver. "Ten taels of silver. Tomorrow, I want to see you appear in the Spring Fragrance Restaurant."
"Thank you..." After receiving the silver, Hua Lian'ai softly thanked him.
Upstairs in the distance, Two sharp eyes saw it all. A gentle and elegant voice sounded. "Alas, sigh, such a beautiful woman has fallen to such an end. Why do I seem to be unable to bear it?"
After a long time, a cold voice sounded. "If you don't have the heart, then bring her to your residence."
The gentle and elegant man stiffened, and he chuckled awkwardly on the spot. "Forget it, no matter what, She was once your concubine. No matter how brave I am, I will never let her go. Don't dare touch her. However, I really have some doubts. How can this good girl be so lustful? Why would she steal people in her house in broad daylight? Why do I feel that in here? It is very weird. "
The gentle and elegant man's peach blossom eyes looked at the cold-looking man in front of him. He wanted to see some of the situation on his face. However, the cold-hearted guy, that iceberg face... How could he see emotions?
He just lazily leaned on the seat, his phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, but there was a surge of cold king aura surging out. A graceful smile suddenly appeared on his face, causing the eyes of the elegant man to light up on the spot. He felt as if ten thousand flowers had bloomed and the morning sun had suddenly appeared. However, the man immediately withdrew his smile. That warm feeling immediately disappeared... It felt as though a thousand miles of spring sun had frozen in an instant.
The gentle man trembled for a moment. "Hehe, I'm too talkative. I'm curious. I shouldn't have asked. Cough, Fifth Brother is drinking."
The ice sculpture man didn't take the wine Gu. Two days ago, Imperial Father was still asking me if the candidate to go to the north has been decided. I think it should be decided now. "
The gentle and elegant man's face turned bitter when he heard that. "Fifth brother... I'm not going to the Northern Frontier. In that lousy place, even birds don't stop. Asking me to rebel. Isn't this asking me to die?"
The man revealed himself. Cough. He had not been described in terms of appearance. For the time being, he had a cold and serious look on his face. Would the relatives be able to guess the mastermind behind the female lead's drug?
Seeing that Huangfu Xiu did not say anything, Huangfu Ning quickly apologized, "I owe you a favor. I owe you a favor. I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong. How can I be curious about something that shouldn't be asked? My God, I must reflect on myself when I go back today. I will regret all my crimes to the heavens. I will apologize to the heavens...
The more he spoke, the more ridiculous he became. Finally, there was a bit of ice breaking on the face of the callous man sitting on the throne. He snorted impatiently, "I remember again. Father said that this candidate has to be decided again."
His words made Huangfu Ning's heart drop. The two brothers drank again. Not long after, Huangfu Ning asked Huangfu Xiu the real question that Huangfu Xiu was most unwilling to face.
"Fifth brother, this time when you are going to be chosen as the Crown Princess, such an ugly thing happened. Father has to pick a Crown Princess for you. I reckon it will have to be some girl from Prime Minister Hua's family. " However, I heard that the Hua family's Qing Qing is very good. "
This time, Huangfu Xiu only slightly knitted his brows. A dignified look flashed across Huangfu Ning who still wanted to chatter. The latter quickly shut his mouth, "Haha, drink, drink."
After taking two doses of medicine, Liu Cenxi's typhoid disease had recovered a lot. Although she was still coughing, she could barely sit up.
The moment she opened her eyes, she looked at the Beatles scattered noodles and was still frying medicine for her daughter. This strong woman finally shed tears of sadness.
Hua Lian'ai was still not used to being with this foreign mother. When she saw her tears, It's pretty uncomfortable inside. She awkwardly stood at the side, "Mother... Mother. Are you not feeling well anywhere? Alright, in her previous life, she was a wild girl without a mother. In other words, she was a father who relied on each other for his life. Now, she didn't know that her father... had a trace of sadness in his heart. His nose turned sour, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Seeing her like this, Liu Cenxi only thought that she was ashamed of what she did wrong. She sighed softly. "Compassion. This matter. Actually, mother has thought it through. How could it be something that you can do? In here, there is only someone... who tripped you. Blame me me! "I didn't think that... she would be so ruthless and destroy you." When it comes to sad things, Liu Cenxi was angry and anxious. She coughed violently on the spot.
She did not expect that this mother was still very reasonable and Hua Lian'ai was moved to be at ease for her.
"Compassion, mother is really old. Sigh, but for you, we must stand up. They don't want us to be good, so we have to walk out of this world. Mother used to manage the estate very well. "I don't believe that there won't be a place for us in this world."
After understanding everything, Hua Lian'ai understood that her mother was not a simple woman. She was born in a business family. Her mother's family was known as the richest family in the world. Although it couldn't be compared to the first three sixty-year-cycle rich man, it was still ranked fourth in the list of rich family candidates.
Marrying Old Man Hua, he had also been managing the Hua family's business. All these years, no matter how powerful Old Man Hua was, her status as the flower's milk had always stood tall. The reason why she was able to secure her position as the milk milk milk was firstly because her mother's family was rich in power. Secondly, it was also because she was capable.
If it wasn't for Hua Lian'ai's incident, Liu Cenxi would probably have been able to secure her position.
Not daring to say that she was going to work in a brothel, Hua Lian'ai went out early the next morning. She only lied and said that she was going to see work and look for a job. She knew that it was tough now. Liu Cenxi could only watch her daughter leave with tears in her eyes. As for her, she was leaning against the broken temple and listening to the little monk recite scriptures.
Standing in front of the Aromatic Spring Restaurant, Hua Lian'ai's heart was filled with fear and curiosity. She knew a little about the modern red-light district hotels and the like. But in ancient times? She really didn't know.
In the early morning, the Spring Fragrance Restaurant was quiet. A row of red lanterns hung on the roof, showing the difference between it and other shops. No wonder people called it the "Red Lantern District" in modern day prostitution places. Perhaps, the red lanterns hung in brothels only had this layer of meaning.
Thinking about it, it didn't matter anymore. In his previous life, he had dealt with ancient costume dramas all day long and had played the role of a prostitute in such a brothel. Now that he had become a maid, he would just treat it as experiencing life. Thinking of this, Hua Lian'ai threw away her worries and raised her hand to knock on the heavy door.
After a long while, a waiter opened the door from the inside. The sun was bright and dazzling. He covered his mouth and stared at Hua Lian'ai in front of him with sleepy eyes. There was a trace of impatience in his eyes. Hua Lian'ai deliberately covered half of her face with her hair. She was wearing a worn out outfit. No matter how one looked at her, she looked like she was called Hua Zi.
The shop assistant was impatient to drive her away. Hua Lian'ai raised her chin. "Miss Qingling asked me to come." She knew about human nature. Sometimes, the weaker you were, the more he bullied others. Especially when he was out in the field. Sometimes, you have to be arrogant and arrogant. Only then do you think of you as a person. Otherwise, why would you say "someone relies on clothes. Sometimes, he would dress up slightly so that he wouldn't lose his position in front of others. After all, there were many people with low standards everywhere!
Perhaps it was because Hua Lian'ai's cold aura had suppressed this lazy man, the waiter still brought Hua Lian'ai to Qingling's residence.
Qingling's residence was in a row of small buildings. Behind them were all small buildings. The style was similar. It was probably the attics of the various famous people.
"You wait first. Qingling received the guests last night. I don't know if the guests have left. If you don't leave, the guest will see your shabby appearance. Tsk tsk... The people above will blame you but you will have to suffer. "Wait, I will go and call a girl over." The shop assistant impatiently muttered and Hua Lian'ai followed his instructions and waited by the side.
Not long after, There were hurried footsteps in the distance. Presumably, the shop assistant went to call Qingling's girl out.
Sure enough, when the shop assistant turned around, there was really that round-faced girl who followed Qingling yesterday behind him.
When she saw Hua Lian'ai, there was not much joy or sorrow on her face. She only nodded arrogantly, "At least you are sensible and know to come and find our family's young miss personally."
She looked at Hua Lian'ai critically and pursed her lips. Her eyes were full of disdain. "With your attire, it is too embarrassing to be a third-rate girl in the house. Come with me and find a new set of clothes to change first."
Hua Lian'ai lowered her head and sweated profusely. That's true. The clothes she was wearing were a little shabby. When she was chased out, the clothes on her body were torn apart by the mama. He did not have any clothes to change into. If he did not take a cold bath before coming here... he was afraid that... this stinky smell would also be able to smoke people away.
Even Hua Lian'ai who was able to see things was embarrassed to the point that she wanted to dig a hole in the ground when she saw her own image.
"Miss Qingling does not like dirty people and things. She usually sleeps in the morning and only practices playing the piano in the afternoon. There are guests accompanying her. Your main duty is to serve Qingling... What do you know?" Only at this time did Hong Qiao realize that she did not understand this newcomer at all and did not know what he knew.
Hua Lian'ai sweated profusely. She was a modern person who came to this ancient era. Now that she had been reduced to a servant girl, others still asked her what she knew. "I know how to eat. I know how to play. Such an answer made Hong Qiao stare at her gloomily. She was so angry and angry that she just looked at her like that. In the end, she shook her head, "I'm not asking you this. You're not a fool, are you? I'm asking you a good question. Do you know how to dress up or are you good at serving people to eat? Or, you can accompany a lady and tell jokes or something, like music, chess, painting and so on. Do you understand? I heard that you are the eldest miss of the Prime Minister's family. "If it wasn't for that, I don't think she would have taken you in."
Er, it was also because of the status of the Prime Minister abandoning his daughter that he had such a task. Hua Lian'ai didn't know whether she should be grateful to her father who had the title of Prime Minister or she should sigh at the repetitive teasing of life.
Thinking about it, what she knows are all modern dance songs. To talk about the zither and painting of this era... it seems that when she was young, she learned some guzheng and practiced some brush characters. But if this is used in the ancient times, can it be used?
