After finishing talking about the script, Xie Qin and Song Ruo'e said goodbye to Yin Yu. They left the princess's mansion and walked along the corridor towards Zhongyuan.
Seeing Song Ruo'e turning around frequently, Xie Qin said helplessly: "With your pace, I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the house even if the sun goes down."
Song Ruo'e was ashamed and annoyed when she heard this, and snorted,
Xie Qin said again: "I know your thoughts, and if you wait quietly, there will be a day when the clouds will clear out and the sun will shine."
Song Ruo'e smiled bitterly when she heard this: "He has become the consort now, so why talk about the theory of cloud and sun?"
Xie Qin smiled slightly and said: "You should be lucky that Erlang is marrying Princess Wanchun. The princess is straightforward but also kind-hearted. If you interact with her attentively, you will be rewarded one day."
Song Ruo'e: "It's not as light as you said."
As Xie Qin walked, she looked at Song Ruo'e and said, "I'm more worried about you than the princess."
Song Ruo'e: "Are you worried about me?"
Xie Qin: "Your temperament, at best, is called informality; at worst, you are arrogant. If you really want to get married, if you don't pay attention to your words and deeds, you will always suffer."
Song Ruo'e was a little surprised: "Am I such a person?"
Seeing that Song Ruo'e was still not convinced, Xie Qin shook his head and said: "In the future, if you really get what you want and are by Erlang's side, I will find a sister who knows etiquette in advance and will always be there to warn you. Don't offend because of complacency.
to others.”
Song Ruo'e: "If the princess is merciful and really allows me to stay with Erlang, why do you need to find some sisters to discipline me? You can just come with me."
Hearing this, Xie Qin had a complicated expression and said softly: "I can't do it."
Song Ruo'e said anxiously: "I don't know anyone else well in Chang'an, and you are the only one who can be considered a close friend. If other people teach me, not only will I not be able to listen, but I might even have to argue a few words, can you just
do not worry?"
Xie Qin looked at Song Ruo'e: "The talents of lay people are rare in Chang'an, and only you can match Erlang's talents. I have no skills, and I am not very talented in literature. I'm afraid...
It’s hard to penetrate the Dharma’s eye.”
Song Ruo'e: "This is a strange thing to say. In terms of appearance, temperament, and how you treat people, how are you inferior to others?"
Xie Qin didn't want to dwell on this topic, and just said: "The most important thing at the moment is to make good friends with the princess and complete the script carefully. We can talk about other gossip later."
The two girls walked to Zhongyuan while talking.
Song Ruo'e saw Qin not coming in and asked again: "Where are you going?"
Xie Qin: "I'm going to Huaqiong Tower. The opera was scheduled last month. I will be on official mission soon, so I have to keep an eye on it carefully."
After saying that, Xie Qin said goodbye to Song Ruo'e, left Bachuan Villa, got on the carriage, and rushed all the way to Huaqiong Tower...
Arriving at the square gate outside Huaqiong Tower, Jie Qin had just come down when he saw a familiar carriage parked in the yard.
Remembering the identity of the carriage owner, the frowning Jie Qin quickly walked into the lobby of Huaqiong Tower and saw She Hongzhi, dressed in red, sitting on a folding chair, sipping fruit tea and looking towards the stage where a play was being performed.
The actors and actresses. Xie Qin walked up to She Hongzhi and asked in a deep voice: "She knew she was coming as a guest, but she didn't inform her in advance?"
She Hongzhi put down her tea cup, smiled and said to Jie Qin: "I paid the fee today, so I am considered a guest of Huaqiong Tower, so why should I inform you?"
Xie Qin waved his hand, dismissed the maid aside, and sat next to She Hongzhi.
She Hongzhi returned her gaze to the stage and tutted: "Your daughters here are still a little immature in terms of acting, singing, or handling guests."
Xie Qin: "You know what She said, I'm afraid she still has the idea of becoming the master of Huaqiong Tower."
She Hongzhi did not deny it, but just said with a smile: "The Sanfang and Sixteenth Street around Huaqiong Tower has now become a gathering place for tricksters, and its momentum is about to surpass that of Beili. As long as it is a fake mother who runs a trick family, everyone will

Xie Qin: "The other people who came to Huaqiong Tower were looking for wealth. She all knew what they wanted. I'm afraid it's more than that, right?"
She Hongzhi smiled slightly: "You don't need to be so careful. Hongzhi only needs a private courtyard in Huaqiong Tower. The business between you and me will not interfere with the river. In addition, you can also get many unexpected benefits."
benefit."
Jie Qin didn't say anything, but picked up a pot of hot water that was simmering on the table over low heat and poured it into She Hongzhi's tea cup.
Seeing the fruit tea in the tea cup slowly being diluted by the boiling water, and finally almost colorless, She Hongzhi understood that Xie Qin was giving an order to expel guests.
She Hongzhi was not annoyed. Instead, she leaned forward and asked Jie Qin: "What is so good about him that he deserves your protection like this?"
Xie Qin's hands shook, and water splashed onto the countertop.
She Hongzhi continued: "You and he are so different now. Is it possible that you still want to create a story about a talented man and a beautiful woman like in the play?"
Jie Qin put the pot back on the table and looked at She Hongzhi, her eyes getting colder.
She Hongzhi was still unconscious and continued: "The five people in Beili back then all knew that Liu Xiaoxian was a fool, Xiyuna was a barbarian, and Song Ruo'e was a hateful person. Only you and me were born to pursue profit. We are well versed in the world, and we have long since
I have seen through all the things in this world."
She Hongzhi stared into Jie Qin's eyes: "Beili uses sex to show others, just like duckweeds drifting with the tide. How can we be independent and independent? In the final analysis, we poor people have been abandoned by our parents, friends, and men.
You have developed a heart of stone a long time ago, so why put all your hopes on a bubble that will be destroyed at the touch of a touch."
Xie Qin: "She knows, but don't forget that there are also sisters in Beili who have found a good marriage."
She Hongzhi sat back and said with a smile: "Are you talking about Yu Junniang? Yes, I admit that for hundreds of years in Beili, Yu Junniang was the only one who could marry a Jinshi of the dynasty. But apart from her, have you ever seen another person?
?Even if Yu Junniang found a marriage, it was because she had a good relationship with the princess, got rid of her lowly status, and gained an official status. In addition, she was a musician in Beili Zhong and did not sell herself."
Speaking of this, She Hongzhi looked at Xie Qin: "But you were kidnapped from Yuzhou to Chang'an because you had a fierce temper and refused to obey discipline. After only half a month, you were drugged..."
"enough!"
Xie Qin suddenly slammed the table, causing the maids and opera singers around to stop their movements.
Standing up from the folding chair, Xie Qin looked angry and shouted to She Hongzhi: "Don't let me see you again!"
Facing the angry Jie Qin, the unhurried She Hongzhi drank the already bland fruit tea, then stood up and said: "Everyone Jie knows, we women from Beili, no matter when and where,
You can't be straightforward in life, and you can't be merciful in doing things. You should always leave yourself a way out."
After saying this, She Hongzhi said ten thousand blessings to Jie Qin, turned around and left Huaqiong Tower.
