Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Eyes Behind the Curtain
Jing Ning used to think that the general was different from other men, but when she heard that the general would not only come here for recreation, but also have a high status here, she still missed a few beats inexplicably in her heart, and she was more or less in a strange mood.
"I've heard of the general's prestige in my hometown, but I wonder if I can listen to my sister talk about the general today?"
"It's easy to say, I want to think about it." Jing Ning listened carefully, and her eyes were always fixed on Gardenia, who looked at the eager eyes of the little scholar in front of her, thinking that this Xu Ning Gongzi might really admire the general very much.
"In fact, every time the general comes here to find an Oiran is very different, and I heard that it is generally about business, the owner of the garden told us not to ask, in addition, our identity is limited and we are not able to contact a character like the general, but also vaguely glanced at the general a few times, that is really suave, if you say shortcomings, it is too serious, not very smiling, inexplicably intimidating, I also said before that the general's room is generally used by Xu Gongzi, a person of the status of General Lin, but if one comes, for the women in our Dream Garden, It's like a holiday, so ah, the curtain of any room on the third floor has been closed, for that woman to be able to go to the room on the third floor, it is an incomparable glory, and her status in this dream weaving garden will rise rapidly, and I don't know when such a good day will be my turn. "Originally, I was going to talk about the gossip that was drenched in the desert, but it turned out to be Miss Gardenia's unattainable lament for the general.
Don't generals like to laugh? Jing Ning thought back to the days she was with the general, and she didn't find this, except that sometimes because of the matter of the first lady, her mood was a little cloudy, she never felt that the general was so serious that it was frightening, or was she mistaken?
During the conversation between the two, many sedan chairs fell one after another outside the main pavilion, and the sweet voices of the women came and went, "Master Wang, you are here, do you miss others?" "Li Gongzi, there is new wine in the slave's room, let's try it tonight." All kinds of greetings sounded downstairs, and soon the downstairs was full, and some sons went upstairs under the crowd of women, and after a while, the second floor was also full.
"It's about to begin." Gardenia reminded that the long wooden ladder descended from the third floor to the rotating platform in front of her, and six attendants of the same height and equal body appeared from each side of the booth, six holding bright red lanterns, six ready to light the lanterns, and then climbed the ladder to hang the lanterns on both sides of the revolving booth on the third floor.
"As soon as the lantern is hung up, tonight's business will officially begin." Gardenia explained.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise at the door, attracting the attention of many people, including Jing Ning, and Miss Yidie's voice was soft but clear, "General Lin, your position has been prepared according to the instructions of the lord of the country, please move your steps to this side." The boy downstairs and the girl who was about to go to the booth all looked towards the door, Zuo Jingning heard who was coming, and he wanted to die, in order to be able to play for a while, he deliberately didn't even tell Xu Qingyou, how could he not expect that the general who would not appear in the Dream Weaving Garden would come over today, it was really a narrow road.
Gardenia on the side stared downstairs, and couldn't help but be surprised, "Little scholar, what kind of good luck are you, if you want to see the general, the general is here." The conversation between the two just now Gardenia thought that she admired the general very much, Jing Ning only felt that she was unlucky, desperately trying to find a place not to be discovered by the general to hide, it seemed that she had to get rid of Gardenia first, and gave Ayou a look while Gardenia was still looking downstairs when she was distracted.
Ah You was also thinking about how his wife should escape, so as not to let the general find out, and when he saw the eyes that his wife handed him, he immediately understood, and quickly blocked in front of Gardenia, Jing Ning turned around and walked quickly downstairs.
"Eh, where are you going, little scholar? "
"Girl, don't worry, my son-in-law will go to make it convenient first, Miss Gardenia, your name is so good, who gave it to you? Ayu diverted Gardenia's attention.
"Speaking of my name, it starts with that encounter ten years ago...... "
