When the old bustard smiled, the powder embedded in the ravine would flutter down. When talking to people, he always had the habit of getting closer.
Ruan Yuyi could only lean back quietly, her palms slightly wet.
"Let me tell you," the old madam said, motioning to the girl in red and green to pour some more tea for her, even though she knew she hadn't taken a sip.
"The girl was really well-raised by her family. She has smooth muscles and bones, and elegant manners. Once she came here, she outshone the other girls here."
The young lady has a straight back, excellent manners, and is well-groomed. She is indeed pleasing to the eye.
After hearing this, the girl who served tea was not willing to do anything, so she opened her mouth and said, "Mom, if you get a new person, you won't care about the old friendship."
She dared to say this because although her mother was interested in profit, she was quite friendly to the girls and could only tolerate a few words from them. If she had been a mother from another kiln, the girls would have been beaten to the point of not doing anything.
The sound is good.
However, it is because of this old bustard's ability to retain people that Feng Yue Lou's business is considered to be the best in Beijing.
After saying this, she turned to Ruan Yuyi and said, "Sister, don't believe my mother's clever words. She can tell everything that is dead and alive. When I first came here, I didn't use the same rhetoric.
"
The old madam was happy, "I was trying to coax you before. Take a look at this girl's face for yourself and think about whether I am coaxing her too?"
The girl looked at her carefully, curled her lips and fell silent.
A few people couldn't hide their vulgarity in their words, making blind comparisons about "dead" and "living". Mu Xiang frowned slightly, not to mention that the young lady is a girl from a serious family, who is a "newcomer" to them.
Ruan Yuyi felt uncomfortable after hearing this, so she said, "Thank you very much for your kindness, but I have important things to do and I can't stay for a long time."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of several girls turned to her. Although their eyes were as charming as silk, they were sharp when they looked closely. Behind her, the door of the private room quietly closed.
The old madam restrained her usual manner and smiled a little more gently, "Don't be afraid, girl, they are joking with you. The slave family will not force you to stay. Seeing that the girl has nowhere to go, why not rest here at the slave family.
"
The reason why she stopped her was because she saw this girl walking on the street. Although the maid next to her looked around, she didn't stop. The dress was gorgeous, but the skirt was slightly dirty.
I don’t know what trouble happened at home that caused me to live here.
This Feng Yue Lou's mother has been wandering around among all kinds of people, and she has long since become a human spirit. She is also very accurate in seeing people. Just one look at her figure, and she knows that this girl is definitely not a human being.
After all, the madam is also a businessman, so how can he make a loss-making business?
Mu Ling wanted to rush out with the young lady, but Ruan Yuyi held her hand down. This place was so prosperous that she wouldn't believe it if they said they didn't have some thugs.
She thought for a while and then said, "We really have nowhere to go. Mom sent this pillow just in time. Just tell us what you need us to do."
There are many people here, so it is easier to inquire about the prince's whereabouts. By the way, you can also avoid some of His Majesty's eyes and ears.
The smile on the old bustard's face deepened and he praised repeatedly, "It's easy to talk to the girl. I don't want to make things difficult for the girl. All you have to do is walk up and down the Fengyue Tower."
Sensing her hesitation, the madam added, "Don't worry, girl, I won't want you to show your whole face."
The part that is half-covered is the most touching, and arouses the desire to spy. Although it is just a walk, as long as she shows off a gimmick, she can attract a lot more customers.
As for any dignitary who has other requests, he will naturally have to be smarter.
This was a nice thing to say, so Ruan Yuyi did not respond immediately, but asked, "Does mother know the whereabouts of Prince Yu?" She seemed to be carelessly stroking the edge of the tea cup.
The old bustard's smile froze, and then he smiled again, but he didn't intend to say anything.
The young prince was indeed upstairs, but His Highness had ordered that no one else be allowed to disturb him. If she said it casually, the business would not be done. She thought that this girl was also someone who wanted to cling to the prince, so she thought to herself, so she just excused herself.
That’s it.
But no matter how carefully she thought about it, she couldn't resist the fast talk of a girl on her side.
"Sister, you are asking the right person. Your Highness is upstairs in the Qingfu Hall right now." The woman who spoke blushed slightly, paused, and then said, "I just made eye contact with His Highness."
It turns out that this last sentence is what I really want to say.
Seeing her look like this, the remaining girls started making noises, laughing, pushing and playing with each other. I don't know which one noticed her mother's gloomy expression first, nudged the nearest sister with her elbow, and then gradually became quiet.
Come down.
But the face of the madam had darkened, and he calmed down slightly after taking a sip of tea.
She rolled her eyes and said, "It's not impossible for a girl to want to find the prince. If His Highness is angry, just say that you sneaked in."
If she is truly appreciated by His Highness, she will be the one sent to her by Fengyue Tower. Anyway, the old bustard will not suffer any loss. If she does not offend the person in front of her, she does not need to bear the guilt of the prince.
Ruan Yuyi couldn't help curling her fingertips slightly, but her face remained as usual, "Then thank you mom first, we will never cause you any trouble."
But after going around and around, she still never relented and agreed to the madam's request.
Seeing that this young lady was also very cautious, the old madam couldn't coax her, so he had to lead her to Qingfu Hall first.
She put the power fence back on, and in her sight, she could only see shadows and dim lights everywhere. She lowered her eyes and looked at the platform under her feet, passing each step step by step.
Seeing that the old bustard stopped under the veil, she also stopped walking.
The madam glanced at the door and saw that there was nothing hanging above to mark it, so she confirmed that she could go in now. She knocked on the door carefully twice, and without hearing any answer from inside, she knocked twice more.
After a long time, the closed door was opened, and the lingering voices of people escaped.
The old bustard exchanged a few words with the woman who came to open the door, then turned back to Ruan Yuyi and said, "Girl, go in, don't forget your promise to the slave family."
Mu Xiang approached the madam, where their sleeves met, and she handed over a bulging purse.
The madam weighed it secretly and showed a satisfied smile.
Mu Xiang and Mu Ling were left outside the door. She hesitated for a moment and then went in alone.
As soon as she stepped into the house, a fragrant aroma invaded her nostrils. It was very different from the refreshing fragrance on Jiang Huaiyang's body. This aroma was mixed and mixed, and after smelling it for a long time, it would inevitably make people feel dizzy.
The light was bright, and the sound of silk and bamboo could be heard in her ears. Through the white gauze, she could only vaguely see a few figures, but when she actually saw people, she felt extremely uncomfortable.
A frivolous voice came from not far away, "Now that the girl has come in, why are you still covering your face?"
