Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Picture of a Beauty
"It's just a little more expensive."
He Zixuan reminded.
Lu Fang took the beauty scroll and looked at it, and nodded: "The three are very good, the one in the middle has Nie Xiaoqian's temperament, don't be afraid of expensive, as long as you can find a suitable one, I'll meet you sometime." ”
At the beginning, it is not easy to find someone who is suitable.
And just by the portrait, he couldn't see the specific reason, he still felt that he had to go and see it in person.
He Zixuan nodded and said: "I'll take you to meet tomorrow, these three are all rich daughters in the middle of the family, and they have no choice but to do so, some are about to become Qingqi, and some are about to be bought as concubines, and I met them, so I stopped them." ”
Next.
A two-storey pavilion on the left bank of the South Canal.
Wang Huachu sat by the window absentmindedly, looking at the frozen river, feeling uneasy, and didn't even listen to the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that the maid read and her like.
If you want to sell yourself to others, how can you not be sad.
Knock knock!
There was a knock on the door.
"Is Sister Wang here?"
A pleasant female voice sounded.
Wang Huachu answered and motioned to the maid Huan'er to open the door, but she got up with a smile and greeted her.
The door opened, and a young girl walked in, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a round face and big smart eyes, giving people a ghostly feeling.
Huan'er smiled: "Miss Tong, it's good that my girl should be so happy as you." ”
"It's really spoiled for you, go and pour tea for Sister Tong." Wang Huachu glared at Huan'er, pulled Tong Wan'er and said, "On this cold day, isn't it cold for my sister to wear so little?" ”
Tong Wan'er wrinkled her nose cutely and said with a smile: "It's not cold, I'm afraid of staying alone in the house." ”
"Ahem, ahem!"
There was a cough at the door.
An eighteen or nineteen-year-old woman with curly bangs leaned against the door and snorted melon seeds:
"Isn't it, we don't even have a maid, we don't even have a person to talk to, but you are not as rich as Sister Wang!"
Wang Huachu smiled bitterly: "Sister Zhong said she laughed. ”
Zhong Xin walked into the room, picked up the female red embroidery on the table and shook her head, and said, "Don't say that my sister doesn't speak well, the fat man two days ago looked like a gentleman, and I'm afraid that the female red alone won't be able to win his heart." ”
"His little eyes, I can see what kind of calculation he is playing, he must want to take us as concubines."
"I don't care, it's just a pity for Sister Wang, and I don't know how much benefit that Ya Po received, she obviously promised to sell you into the Red Sleeve Song and Dance Workshop, but suddenly changed her hexagram."
Tong Wan'er shook her head in disbelief and said: "Yesterday I asked Gongzi He, and he said that it was not to accept us as concubines, but to have a better thing than to be a Qing man." ”
"Whew!" Zhong Xin pinched Tong Wan'er's chin with all kinds of charm, and said with a smile: "Do you believe the man's words?" ”
Tong Wan'er frowned and knocked her hand away, and said, "Sister Zhong understands so well? ”
Zhong Xinle said: "I haven't tasted pork and haven't seen a pig run?" Just look at it, didn't the mother-in-law say yesterday, let's dress up, we want to meet an important person today, and you will understand when the time comes. ”
"Where do we have a choice now?"
"If you meet someone who is a little better, you may be able to barely live a good life, but if you meet someone who is not good, it will be miserable."
"It's annoying." Tong Wan'er paused irritably, "I thought I could be a clean person, maybe I could meet Wen Guanhou." ”
Zhong Xin just picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and when she heard the words, she directly sprayed Tong Wan'er in the face, she smiled bitterly and hurriedly helped wipe it, and said, "I'm sorry, I really couldn't help it." ”
Tong Wan'er said angrily: "Sister Zhong, you are so excessive." ”
Wang Huachu was so amused that he giggled and said: "Sister, you are a bit excessive, so many popular and famous people, confessing to Wen Guanhou every day, have no chance to meet." ”
Zhong Xin teased: "I'm not so excessive, as long as I can meet Wen Guanhou, I will snicker, but I don't dare to think about being his concubine." ”
"How could I say that." Tong Wan'er made a big red face.
Zhong Xinwan smiled and said, "You didn't say it, that's what you think in your heart, what's the difference?" ”
"I fought for you, and you kept making fun of me." Tong Wan'er angrily tickled Zhong Xin's itchy flesh.
"Stop! I'm afraid of itching...... Hahaha, don't make a fuss...... Good sister, isn't it okay if people are wrong...... Hahaha......"
After making a fuss for a while, Zhong Xin tidied up her messy dress and gasped: "You bad girl, I said that I am afraid of itching." ”
"Slightly!" Tong Wan'er grimaced.
A rush of footsteps sounded, and an old woman with a matchmaker's mole walked up:
"Oh, my three little ancestors, the nobles below have arrived, you hurry up and make up your makeup, and go down with me quickly, so as not to make people angry."
Wang Huachu said: "Mother-in-law, we are ready. ”
Tong Wan'er wrinkled her nose, "I don't need to touch up my makeup, I don't look good." ”
Zhong Xin smiled: "Mother-in-law, don't worry, last time that Gongzi He looked at us, make sure that it is foolproof, by the way, how old is the nobleman, is he fat or thin?" ”
The mother-in-law glared at her and said, "The pockmarked face, it looks quite rich, it is estimated that he is a rich businessman, oops, you still picked it, is there a reason for you to choose?" ”
At the urging of their mother-in-law, the three of them finally touched up their makeup, and then they went back and forth.
"That's a lot of pockmarks."
Although Tong Wan'er has a lively personality, she is not so open-mouthed, at least she didn't say it to her face, but just complained in her heart.
"He Gongzi!"
Zhong Xin gave a gift.
Wang Huachu also saluted.
She didn't like this kind of being looked at like a cargo, so she just glanced at He Zixuan and the middle-aged man with a pockmarked face, and lowered her head.
The mother-in-law pulled Zhong Xin and said:
"Two sons, how about it, these three are rare beauties, although they are a little expensive, but they are definitely worth the money, for this matter, I also deliberately refused the steward of the Red Sleeve Song and Dance Workshop."
"You see, this has to be a look, a figure, a figure."
He Zixuan looked at Lu Fang, "Is it okay?" ”
Lu Fang didn't answer directly, but said, "You introduce yourself in one sentence, I'll listen to it." ”
Tong Wan'er, who was standing at the back, paused, pouted, and said, "How do you introduce this?" ”
Zhong Xin smiled and said, "Don't be surprised by this son, Sister Tong is a little younger and doesn't know how to speak." ”
Lu Fang stretched out his hand to stop her from continuing, and said, "Okay, you two don't need to be introduced, the last one." ”
Wang Huachu bowed and introduced himself decently.
Lu Fang nodded with satisfaction and said, "The three have different personalities, they are all quite representative, yes, buy it, buy a house, let them live first." ”
After saying that, he left directly.
The mother-in-law looked at He Zixuan and said, "This ...... The price has not yet been discussed. ”
He Zixuan took out a few silver tickets and handed them to her, and said, "Just according to the price you said before, okay, I will take the people away, you clean up, and I will take you to the place where you live." ”
