Chapter 80: Frontal Contact
In the Yihong Mansion, the peony girl is grooming in the mirror. There are always a few fixed days in the month when the peony girl does not see outsiders, and she attaches great importance to these days. Because that was the day when her sweetheart, Wang Gongzi, came to see her.
The prince she misses is actually the third prince Huang Huan, but she only knows his surname Wang, and she doesn't know anything else. She tried to ask him about his identity, but instead of asking anything, she was left out in the cold for months.
Since then, she has never done such a foolish thing to think herself, although she could not understand why Wang Gongzi refused to redeem her and leave this filthy place that she hated when he could spend thousands of gold to protect himself from the crown of Oiran.
Every time Wang Gongzi came over, he only talked to her about poetry, calligraphy and painting, or listened to her play the yaoqin, but he never had too much skin intimacy. At most, he just tugged at her little hand or kissed her lightly on the forehead.
She thought to herself that maybe Wang Gongzi was not unwilling to redeem himself, but that he had a last resort. She was waiting for him, and that was three years. In the past three years, she has refused to accept customers again and again, so that her mother's face in Yihong Mansion has become more and more ugly.
Fortunately, Wang Gongzi gave a lot of gold and silver every time he came over, so the old bustard would indulge her like this. But she knew that this situation could not last long, and she saw the ** in the eyes of some regular customers getting deeper and deeper, just after she finished each performance.
That's right, she's just a clean person. How many noble sons are willing to spend a lot of money to kiss Fangze, or redeem her, but she is unwilling. The bustard's plan was a long-term business, and of course the bustard refused to let her go out so lightly.
However, there are powerful and rich people in Kyoto City, and those people are offended. The strange thing is that every time those powerful and rich people put down their cruel words and insist on the peony girl, there will always be some unexpected circumstances, which makes the scene of the peony girl in Yihong Courtyard the same.
She is still her clean man, but she can't refuse, so she walks out of the room and sells her talent and appearance, but she doesn't sell herself.
"What time is it, why hasn't Prince Wang come yet?" Peony turned her back to the door, picked up a cup of tea from the dresser, and drank it down.
Wang Gongzi once said that he likes to see her back when he pushes the door in, so every time she turns her back to the door. But I sat there for an hour, and it was already dark, and no one came in.
Her maid was mute, so she just asked casually, not expecting her to answer anything.
This mute maid was assigned to her by the prince and was extremely loyal to her.
Peony sat for a while, but still couldn't hear the footsteps that she had been looking forward to day and night. There was a coquettish sound of a warbler and a warbler outside the window, and she was very disgusted to hear it, so she asked the maid to close the window again.
After a while, Peony saw that the maid did not obey her instructions to close the window, and she thought that her voice was too low for the maid to hear. She turned her head and said to the maid:
"Go and close the windows!"
The room was not yet lit, and the maid stood motionless in the shadow of the door.
Peony suddenly felt a little dizzy in her head, as if the sky and the earth had become pitch black like ink, and her mind was chaotic, she was really overwhelmed, and she fainted on the dresser.
The maid was still standing there, and if she looked closely, she could see that the maid's left arm was emitting a faint blue light, and she pulled down the left sleeve with her right hand, and the blue light was hidden.
It wasn't Peony Girl's mute maid, but Situ Ming.
At this moment, Ge Yuxin was watching the scene in the peony girl's room in the attic at the highest point of Yihong Building, and it was already completely dark. Looking down from the attic, there were lights everywhere, and there was no light in the peony girl's room.
The old bustard specially explained to her that the peony girl was used to waiting for the arrival of the noble prince like this on weekdays, so Ge Yuxin was not surprised. Since the last conversation with Situ Ming, she promised Situ Cheng to let her pretend to be a maid and wait by the side when the noble son arrived. At the same time, he also promised Situ Cheng that under the condition of not offending people, he could say that he would use peony to come to the Red Dot Cui Pavilion to stay for a few days, saying that he was teaching those newcomer girls.
Ge Yuxin observed in front of the window in the attic for a long time, but saw Peony sitting in front of the dresser waiting in a daze, during which she drank tea for a minute and said a few words. Later, perhaps tired of waiting, she saw the peony girl lying on the table and taking a nap.
She saw that Situ Cheng was also standing obediently, and she had never made the peony girl dissatisfied, which made her very relieved and satisfied.
Downstairs, a prostitute was drunk and made a loud shout, which attracted Ge Yuxin's attention. She thought, she didn't know that it was the gentleman again, and he was already drunk as soon as it got dark.
But after a while, when Ge Yuxin set her eyes in the direction of the peony girl's room again, she found that the window was closed and the curtain was covered.
"What's going on? Didn't you tell your mother that you wouldn't let the window be closed tonight? Ge Yuxin asked the mother-in-law next to her.
"Master Ge doesn't know, every time that noble son comes, he will close the window and cover the curtain." The woman replied.
"Then let the people in the room next to the peony girl be careful, as long as there is any loud noise in the peony girl's room, and it doesn't matter whether it offends the boy or not, she will break in under the pretext of sending tea." Ge Yuxin explained. She was still worried that Situ Cheng would make some mess in the room.
The noble prince surnamed Wang in the mouths of the people finally came, and as he had done before, he saw the back of the peony girl as soon as he entered the door. He walked over to the peony girl who was sitting at the dresser.
As soon as Huang Huan entered the door, Situ Ming, who was standing on the side of the door, immediately closed the door and put on the plugs.
Huang Huan heard the movement, so he turned around and looked back, just as Situ Cheng lit the candle.
"Who are you?" Huang Huan asked. Every time he comes over, he is a dumb lady waiting by his side, why did he change people today?
Who is she? I asked who she was? That's the first thing he says when we meet again.
Situ Cheng wanted to tell him who he was, and wanted to come up and ask him why he had abandoned her, but she couldn't.
She had to smile and reply respectfully:
"The maid is here to pick up the peony girl."
"Peony? Peony: Where is she going? Huang Huan asked.
"Miss Peony is not Childe's person, she belongs to Yihong Mansion, of course Childe is not qualified to know the whereabouts of Miss Peony." Situ Cheng sneered.
"Bold!" Huang Huan heard this and said angrily, how could he have been subjected to such ridiculed words, even Yihonglou's mother had to be careful to please him.
Situ Cheng sneered in her heart, hehe, it's different in the end, he still looks like a prince and a dog when he plays majestic.
"Childe helps the maid to help the peony girl to the couch, the girl has been waiting for the boy for several hours, probably too tired after waiting for a long time." Situ Ming didn't look at Huang Huan either, and went to help Peony who was still in a coma on the table.
