Chapter Seventy-One: Wandering in the Fog
Chapter Seventy-One: Wandering in the Sky and Flowers in the Mist
Although He Lianqing is a girl cultivated in Piaoxiang Building, it is the first time to perform on stage in Piaoxianglou, looking at the fanatical guests upstairs and downstairs, those sons who are willing to throw thousands of pounds to see her smile, and those men who can go to the soup for her as long as she says a word, but her heart is as calm as water, without a trace of waves or ripples.
She just needs to do what she needs to do, she just needs to make them obsessed with her. Everything else is not what she can control or want.
The flower building she is in is the most upscale flower building in Huyang, and the city she is in is the most prosperous and lively city in the Great Xia Kingdom, but what belongs to her, all she can see is such a small place. She didn't even have a chance to see the symbol of Huyang, surnamed Meijing, Magpie, and Feique.
It seems that she is worshiped by everyone, she is a lady of heaven, she should be happy and proud, but she feels that she is just a canary in a cage for people to admire, sad and helpless.
The blue sky is just outside, vast and blue, as if close at hand, but out of reach.
She wandered outside the blue sky, between heaven and earth, her soul seemed to get rid of her shell, gained unrestrained freedom, spread her wings, and soared into the sky.
This made her eyes look a little dazed, a little illusory, a little ethereal, but all the guests were crazy and fascinated by this look.
After playing the piano music mechanically, and according to the countless rehearsals in the past, she subconsciously danced a dance, and after saluting the guests, she had to leave in the applause and cheers of the crowd, and return to her own small courtyard and pavilion in the backyard, where she dreamed of flying freely.
Boss Xu suddenly appeared in front of her and hurriedly saluted.
"Well, Lianqing, you did a good job today." Boss Xu praised.
"Thank you, Uncle Xu, compliment." She blessed slightly, and said softly.
Boss Xu said: "Don't be busy going back first, there is a guest over there, you go over and sit with him for a while." β
She was slightly surprised, she seemed to have said before, she didn't need to pay attention to these guests tonight, she just had to finish the performance on stage, who could make Boss Xu change his mind?
Boss Xu led her to a private room on the second floor, and said: "Today's guest is not ordinary, you have to talk to him well, don't offend him, otherwise we will have a bad time in Piaoxianglou." What requirements does he have, as long as it's not too excessive, try to follow him, it doesn't matter if he is wronged, ah? β
She nodded mechanically and agreed, was there any other choice but to agree? Is there an alternative?
The door of the private room has been installed, and after Boss Xu pushed the door in, he already had a smile on his face.
There were a lot of people in the private room, and she had seen a few of them, not long after she was sent to Huyang from Yecheng, Boss Xu made an exception and asked her to play for those sons, which shows that their identities must be not light.
Boss Xu said to one of the young men who was sitting: "Second son, Lian Qing brought it, she doesn't know how to drink, so ...... This, please be considerate, the small one is outside, if you have any orders, be on call. β
"Well, got it, you go out." The young man's voice was steady and powerful, and there was no disorder and frivolity of those boys, which made her a little curious in her heart, the person who could make Boss Xu so respectful was bigger than the fat boy last time.
After Boss Xu instructed her to entertain the "second son" well, he went out, thinking that he was guarding the door, as if he was afraid that she would be eaten by this group of people.
She looked at the young man just now, and saw that he was handsome, with a big black dog lying at his feet, a small white dog in his arms, and three big men standing behind him, who looked really imposing.
But what surprised her the most was his eyes, although he had been staring at her, but his eyes were different from everyone else, there was no hope in those eyes, no madness, no infatuation, some were just clear, as clear as a spring water, it seemed that there was a trace of ripples in the clear spring, like memories, like nostalgia.
"Ah, Miss Lianqing, we meet again." It was the fat man who broke the deadlock between the two of them, and the flesh of his chin trembled, making Lian Qing wonder when he would fall to the ground like this.
She obediently blessed the fat man and said, "Lianqing has seen the son, but I don't know what to call the son." "Last time, when Boss Xu took her to perform for this fat man and a few boys, she didn't exchange names.
"Oh, in the Lower Otzi, come, Miss Piqing, I'll introduce you." The fat man named Ou Qi stretched out his hand to the young man just now with a smile on his face and said, "This is the second son of Li He and Li of the Governor's Mansion." β
"Lian Qing has seen the second son." She said softly, meticulously courteous.
The second son just smiled, his eyes still looking at her. No matter what other people use, whether it is fanatic, obscene, obsessive, or sincere, her heart will not fluctuate even a little, but this person, this second son, his clear gaze makes her feel a little confused, a little curious, and a little confused.
"This is the ......" Ou Qi introduced the next person, she didn't have the heart to listen, just bowed mechanically, and subconsciously said hello. In my mind, I was feeling the meaning in that look, and I was silently reciting the name...... Li He?
After introducing everyone, the second son patted the seat next to him and spoke: "Qinglian sit here." β
Qinglian? She couldn't help but be a little annoyed, it was the first time that someone had called her name wrong, but she still walked over according to her words, and said softly after sitting down: "Second son, the slave's name is Lianqing, not Qinglian." β
The second son smiled slightly and said, "It's all about the same, just one name, hehe." β
She thought that when she came to accompany the guests, these men would definitely take the opportunity to bully her, and she was ready to get out at any time and let Boss Xu outside deal with them. But after coming in, I found that although the other people looked at them with fanaticism, they were obviously very scruples about this second son, and everything was headed by him, and he had the final say. And this second son......
He turned his chair around and faced her, and said with a smile:
"Qinglian, do you like to eat vegetable buns or meat buns?"
Vegetable buns? Or a meat bun?! Her smile froze, and the expressions on the faces of the others froze, stunned, surprised, inexplicable, and felt anything.
Her pretty face was red, and she felt that this question was really strange and rude enough, but after thinking about it, she still whispered: "Meat bun ......"
"Meat bun, good, meat bun good, good meat bun...... So, do you prefer to eat lean meat or fatty meat? His eyes were big and bright, but she wanted to poke her slender fingers into themβfor you to ask again, for you to ask again......
Her face turned even redder, but she replied in an inaudible voice, "Fat ......"
"Good! Fat! Good fat, good fat! He slapped his thigh and laughed, his expression as happy as that of a child who had stolen candy.
His eyes were brighter.
Her mouth couldn't help but purses, and she had forgotten how she had been cultivated over the past so many years had told her to give an account to Lady Sven.
"Do you like kite flying? Kite flying. Next, his questions and topics became more and more bizarre than the other, and when he spoke them, he was full of emotion.
"I like it." But the more she talked, the more she wanted to speak, as if she had opened a hole in the bottle full of thoughts, and the contents couldn't help but flow out, and she couldn't stop it: "When I was a child, I loved flying kites the most, and I even made one myself, the kind of kite with three pairs of wings." As he spoke, he claimed that he forgot to say "slave family".
"Haha, this kite is the most suitable to fly when the autumn is cool, I know that there is a good place to fly a kite outside Huyang City, next time I take you to fly, I will release the six-winged kite you made yourself!" He spoke very energetically.
The others in the private room were stunned, is this the second son? Is this Miss Piqing?
The second son, who has always been domineering and arrogant, actually talked happily with a woman and danced happily, and the girl who has always been gentle and demure actually said like a little girl, ah, even the sleeves were rolled up, uh, the feet were lifted to the chair.
"Qinglian, you like to kick shuttlecocks, right? Huh, playing well? Well, you kicked it for me. β
"Qinglian, what is your favorite game to play? Hide-and-seek? Haha, I said that if you come to my house, I will hide you and catch me, and I will ensure that you can't catch me, what? Unbelief? If you don't believe it, we'll come and play. β
"Qinglian, do you like butterflies or dragonflies? I like it, okay, let's go fishing in Qingming Lake in Huyang, catch dragonflies and butterflies by the way, and come back to make fried dragonflies and fried butterflies for you to eat~ Ha, don't hit me~"
"Do you like puppies? Well, but I only have one big dog, and it's black and big, and you can't hold it. What? In my arms? It's a fox, not a dog, little fool! Ah, the ladies can't even move their mouths, be careful that my fragrance bites you......"
"What? Love reading novels? Well, I have a collection of tens of thousands of books at home, and I have novels from any dynasty. If you don't like it, I'll tell you a story, and I'll tell you a story that I promise you haven't heard it, and I promise you love it. β
What he said was really interesting, and the things he talked about made her yearn for it so much, and made her look forward to it, it was almost all her dream every night!
These...... Can it really be achieved?
Unconsciously, she forgot that she was in the Piaoxiang Building, forgot the many guests outside, forgot the countless fanatical eyes around her, and even forgot that she was the Oiran He Lianqing, she seemed to really play with the second son in the fields, play in the mountains, fly kites in the wilderness, fish and catch dragonflies by the pond, read books and listen to stories in the yard......
"Lao Xu!" The voice of the second son pulled her back to reality and pulled her back to the private room of this Piaoxiang Building.
Boss Xu immediately pushed the door and walked in, his eyes lingered on her, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned when he saw her pinning her sleeves and lifting her feet.
"Lao Xu." The second son shouted again.
"Oh, ah, what does the second son command? But is the mercy not well entertained? I also ask the second son to forgive her sins, today is the first time she has accompanied a guest, and she is not sensible...... Mercy, don't apologize to the second son, please ......"
She listened inexplicably, and for some reason, she suddenly wanted to laugh.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise in the corridor outside.
