Chapter 42: Going out to the Wei Mansion, the eve of the encounter
All the singing and laughter came to an abrupt end. When they saw Master Wei, the prefect, rushing in with a group of soldiers and horses, everyone didn't understand what happened. When the madam saw this, he immediately understood in his heart that it was Bai Zhi.
That girl caused the trouble.
"Hey, Mr. Wei, you are here, welcome..."
"Don't do this to me! Where's the man!" Although Mr. Wei is not a good official, he hardly comes to this place of fireworks. I also heard about Bai Zhi that there is such an oiran in Yangzhou City who is all-powerful.
, played a wonderful piece of piano, and everyone who listened to it was moved. Therefore, he did not want to stay in the land of fireworks for a long time, nor did he want to get entangled with this old bustard who smelled of powder.
"This, this, this... Mr. Wei, please wait, I will call you right away." The madam hurriedly ran to Bai Zhi's room, and happened to run into Cuifang coming out of the room. Cuifang saw that she was about to go inside.
Chuang stretched out his hand to stop him and said:
"The lady said that no one is allowed to enter her room!"
He was already anxious and angry, but he was blocked by a girl from Wanhua Tower who was serving tea and water. The madam was furious and slapped Cuifang on the face, causing Cuifang to cry.
"What's going on?" Bai Zhi heard the sound of the teacup knocking over and hitting the ground, and then she heard the sound of Cuifang arguing with someone.
"Miss, she...she wants to come in." Although she was beaten by the madam, Cuifang still upheld the rules set by Bai Zhi.
"Cui Fang, let her come in."
The door opened and the madam walked in. She was startled. The room was deserted and had a cold smell. She didn't feel a chill rising up her back. What kind of house did this girl live in? Wanhua Building
There are so many comfortable rooms to stay in, so I chose this one because it is protected from the wind and the sun.
"What's the matter?" She had a headache today. Bai Zhi lay down early and got up slightly when she saw the madam coming in.
"Girl, Mr. Wei has found Wanhua Tower! For our sake, and because I saved your life, please give in!"
Bai Zhi stood up, and Cuifang quickly put on her shoes, "You saved me, I must have made a lot of money for you in the past five years." She replied calmly.
"This..." When Bai Zhi said it, the madam choked back her prepared words. What she said was right, because Bai Zhi has been able to make Wanhua Tower more and more prosperous in these years.
"Girl, let me tell you what I said. If you don't obey Mr. Wei and go to his house to perform a song, then Cuifang won't have to work as a maid here for you in the future." The old madam gritted her teeth and let go of the cruel words.
come out.
"What do you want?" Bai Zhi is very indifferent to her own affairs, but Cuifang has served her wholeheartedly since she came to Wanhua Tower. To a certain extent, she is her eyes.
The old madam pulled Cuifang over and looked her over, "This girl is becoming more and more beautiful. She has been with you for a long time, and she has a bit of your temperament. The young master of the Li family said a few days ago that he has fallen in love with her."
Seeing the foresight of the old madam, Cuifang hurriedly approached Bai Zhi and pulled her sleeves, her body trembling. She was also a poor child who was sold to a brothel since she was a child. That day, the old madam asked Bai Zhi to choose someone to do it for her.
When she was a maid, Cuifang knelt down in front of Bai Zhi desperately. She felt that Bai Zhi did not have the rouge smell and tackiness of other girls in Wanhua Tower. She fell in love with her at first sight, and she knew that she would not fall into depravity if she followed her. At that time, Bai Zhi was stunned
Feeling sad, Cuifang was left behind.
"Okay, I'll go, you can go out." Bai Zhi agreed, just for her maid Cuifang.
The old madam went out happily. As she left, she said, "Girl, I didn't mean to embarrass you. It's just that in our line of work, we can only laugh along and follow others' wishes. Don't blame me."
.”
After closing the door, Cuifang knelt in front of Bai Zhi and said with tears, "Miss, Cuifang will definitely repay your kindness to Cuifang."
"Get up, help me change clothes and put on makeup." Bai Zhi helped her up, sat in front of the dressing mirror, and put down her thick bangs to cover the flesh-red scar.
Bai Zhi got on the sedan. This was the first time in five years that she had gone out to perform this kind of performance. She really looked like a woman with fireworks, but it didn't matter. She unconsciously reached out and touched the scar under her hair. Cuifang's hand
Holding Qin in her arms, she had secretly made up her mind. If the distinguished guest in Mr. Wei's house was not good for the young lady, she would fight to the death. When Wei Zhongmin saw Bai Zhi for the first time, he felt very surprised.
Unexpectedly, I originally thought that she was as rosy as the other women in Wanhua Tower, but maybe more beautiful, but I didn't expect that Bai Zhi was just like her name, pure and elegant, free and easy, not at all like those in Feng Chen.
woman.
"Wei Mansion is here!" A high-pitched voice said.
When they arrived, Cuifang opened the sedan curtain, and a stunning woman in white came out.
Wei Jiajia saw the arrogant and cold courtesan with a noble look at the door, and snorted coldly, "She's just a fireworks woman, what's there to be proud of?"
Although the voice was very soft, Bai Zhi and Bai Zhi still heard it. Cuifang gritted her teeth angrily, but Bai Zhi seemed not to hear it. She just came to play a piece and left after playing. She didn't want to deal with other things, especially
I still feel a little dizzy today.
"Humph, then Mr. Wei is still asking for favors from our young lady!" Seeing that the young lady didn't say anything, Cuifang pushed Wei Jiajia back. She couldn't let her young lady be bullied.
"You!" She was so angry.
Cuifang rolled her eyes at her and helped Bai Zhi into the Wei Mansion. Wei Jiajia was already furious. If it weren't for her father, she would have taught this master and servant a lesson today.
There was another pain in his heart. Mu Leng endured it. This time the pain was more severe than before. The veins on his forehead were like small squirming snakes, as if they had broken through the skin and crawled out. The pain was bone-gnawing.
.
"Your Majesty, someone from the Wei Mansion has come to report that Mr. Wei has specially invited the famous oiran Bai Zhi from Wanhua Tower to play the piano for you. Please give me a favor."
"Go back and say that I will be there soon." The word "Qin" touched his heart. How much he missed the sound of her piano.
After a while, Mu Lenglie, who had returned to normal, walked out of the room and walked towards the place where Wei Zhongmin was hosting a banquet, holding a flute in his hand.
