Zhu Ming pondered for a long time and clicked his tongue several times. He didn't know what to say for a moment and almost gave up. But when he thought that Lan Ning might be snatched away by Xie Fu, he had to continue racking his brains.
Finally the first words came out: "Madam, you are so beautiful, really beautiful."
…
Xie Fu finished writing Zhu Ming's incoherent words.
Zhu Ming took the paper, glanced at Fu Xie, and asked: "Fu Xie, why do I see you looking a little unhappy?"
Xie Fu smiled and said: "No, I'm glad you can express yourself bravely."
"Then I'll leave first." Zhu Ming turned around and walked to the door, then suddenly turned back and asked, "By the way, what calligraphy will you practice tomorrow?"
Xie Fu smiled and said: "I won't practice tomorrow." Xie Fu was already planning to give up on him.
Zhu Ming snorted in his heart. He was unhappy because I saw through his bad intentions. I don't need you anymore. In a few days, on the first day of August, I will meet Mrs. Lan Ning.
Xie Fu looked at Zhu Ming's leaving figure and said, Come on, once this letter is sent, there will be no future, and I will be happy and at ease.
…
In the morning, Lan Ning and Juan'er stayed in the yard as usual. This has become their daily routine, regardless of the wind, rain or heat.
"Miss, this young man doesn't dare to meet you face to face and talks to you in this way. What should I do if he is an ugly man?"
Lan Ning joked: "If he is an ugly guy, I will admit it. I am tired of seeing those handsome young men every day. Meeting this ugly guy is at least a novelty."
"Miss, just to be fresh, Juan'er spends every day with you in this yard until you are covered in sweat."
Lan Ning said with a smile: "If you can meet such a person in life who can speak freely and talk about everything, you should be as ugly as possible."
Juaner smiled and asked again: "Miss, you seem to be resigned to your fate. What would you do if you were a rough guy in the market?" This was a deliberate joke. She knew that the lady was most taboo about such people.
Lan Ning smiled and said: "No, I have already seen this poem, this character and this person clearly!"
The sound of cooing came, and Lan Ning said happily: "Here he comes."
Lan Ning guided the pigeon to his lap, caressed the pigeon lovingly, and took the paper off the pigeon's feet with great joy.
Over the past twenty days, the two of them have been communicating intensively, one letter a day, without interruption. They can be considered good friends who know each other well.
Yesterday's letter, in which he explained his whereabouts on the first day of August, actually meant to invite him.
She, a woman, could not take the initiative to bring up this kind of thing, so she borrowed this implicit hint. With the young master's exquisite mind, it was natural that she could not fail to read it.
Lan Ning had actually been thinking about the meeting for several days. Meeting men was not a common occurrence for her.
But she obviously doesn't treat this young master as a guest, but as an intimate, or...
He should agree. After all, these days, he writes passionately between the lines, and he is not unintentionally ruthless towards himself...
Thinking of this, Lan Ning's heart was pounding. She hadn't felt this way for a long time, as if she was alive again.
Juan'er looked at the young lady's expression and snickered secretly. She took a cherry and fed it into the young lady's mouth. She asked, "Miss, is it sweet?"
"sweet."
"Master Lu is so kind to the lady. He sends someone to deliver cherries every day. It's so sweet."
Lan Ning raised his head and said: "When I read the letter, don't mention Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu..." Then he unfolded the paper and started reading.
After reading the entire text, Lan Ning was confused and speechless for a long time. What are you talking about?
Juan'er soon noticed something strange about Lan Ning. She said "Eh", looked closer, and immediately cursed: "Why do you say such nonsense and foul language? It's really irritating."
Juan'er's scolding made Lan Ning come back to his senses. He lowered his head and looked at the letter again, and murmured: "The word is still the same, but today's words are like a different person. It's very tacky, and it's all nonsense." , as vulgar as a market scoundrel, rude and obscene..."
Juaner scolded: "Miss, I think this is his true face."
Lan Ning raised her hand to signal Juan'er not to interrupt her thoughts, "If I didn't recognize his word, I really couldn't believe it came from the same person. What did he mean, testing me? Since he was testing me, why did he do it again? If you want to annoy me in this way, I already have a very good impression of him..."
As a courtesan, Lan Ning has dealt with countless people and countless scenes, but for the first time, she can't figure out a clue.
Lan Ning sighed deeply: "Alas..."
Juaner consoled him: "Miss, we just ignore him."
Lan Ning was puzzled: "How can I respond to this letter as if I didn't see it, or make fun of it?"
Juaner said angrily: "Miss, just tell me that I will not have a child with a rude and dirty person like you."
Lan Ning was furious when he heard this, "You...are you helping me or harming me?"
"Of course I'm helping you!"
"Juan'er, please shut up and let me be quiet."
After Lan Ning thought for a while, she said softly: "Maybe he knows that I am a brothel girl and I show false love every day, so he came to test me... Well, I am dating him sincerely, so it's okay for him to try it." , it’s not a trial, how can I use the hypocrisy of a brothel to deal with it, just say whatever I feel in my heart!"
Lan Ning's words were said in a restrained manner, as if he was making a major decision.
Juaner was surprised and said: "Miss, what do you want to say to him?"
Lan Ning said: "I'm going to scold him severely."
"Yes! He should be scolded severely." Juaner's face was full of indignation, but she asked softly: "Miss, aren't you afraid that he will be angry?" "Huh, angry! After all, I am also an oiran, and I cherish her beauty. He needs to do the things he needs to do. If he is angry, he is just a petty person. Naturally, I have no reason to coax him. Besides, he was the first to say these vulgar and rude words. Can't I scold him..."
At the end of the sentence, Lan Ning sounded a little aggrieved and coquettish.
The two walked into the attic and met Qinglian walking weakly with her head lowered. She said softly: "Ms. Lan Ning, my mother has promised me that she will let me sing in the hall in a few days."
"Yeah." Lan Ning responded lightly.
Qinglian said softly: "I...I may not be able to stay here to serve you."
In fact, she really likes to stay here and will not be bullied. Although Mrs. Lan Ning is cold and sometimes lets her do some work, she feels in her heart that Mrs. Lan Ning is really good and sometimes gives her some work. A little delicious food would not make her do too heavy or tiring work, and I don’t know if Mrs. Lan Ning would be angry if she said this.
"Oh." Lan Ning seemed as indifferent as usual.
Qinglian raised her head slightly and looked towards Lan Ning quietly. She happened to catch Lan Ning's gaze and was immediately startled.
