In Cuixiao Xuan, an elegant boudoir on the third floor of Fifang Waterside Pavilion, Miss Su was sitting beside the bed, with her arms on the window, half-lying on her stomach and looking at the clear Dujiang Canal outside the window.
After a long while, he let out a long sigh.
It is undeniable that the turtle slave was not exaggerating. Miss Su, who was lying alone on the window edge, could be called a beauty in the world just from the side view.
Her black hair hangs down to the ground, her skin is as good as snow, her jade-like face, her eyebrows are slightly furrowed, her bright eyes are good at gazing, her pupils are cut, and her eyebrows are picturesque and bright.
"Squeak——"
The door opened, and the little maid who was waiting hurriedly walked into the room, lifted up the gauze-like curtain, walked into the inner room, placed the answer sheets of the guests in the hall on the table, and immediately turned her head to look
Look at Miss Su who is looking out the window in a daze.
"Miss?"
Miss Su turned her head, with her beauty and slightly lazy demeanor, even the little maid didn't feel moved.
"Miss, you are indeed the most beautiful in this waterside pavilion."
The little maid praised sincerely.
Miss Su smiled faintly and murmured in a tone as calm as stagnant water: "Beauty... Lu'er, did you know that 'beautiful' means 'sheep' and 'big' originally refers to plump lambs..."
The ancients raised lambs in the sheepfold, and when distinguished guests came to visit, the owner would kill the fattest sheep in the sheepfold and cook it as a delicacy... And neither I nor the lambs to be slaughtered.
It’s just a big difference.”
"Miss, that's what's wrong with you..." the little maid Lu'er accused in an old-fashioned way: "You lock yourself in your room all day long, how do you have the chance to get to know the rich and powerful people in Beijing?
Look at "Youzhuxuan" on the second floor, that Miss Wang hasn't
Miss, you are half beautiful, but you still got married to a rich man. According to my inquiry, that rich man has spent thousands of taels of silver on Miss Wang so far. This is not counted. It seems that
I also plan to redeem Miss Wang’s life and take her to the mansion to be my concubine.”
"Being a concubine in a wealthy family may not necessarily lead to an easy life." Miss Su smiled faintly: "Being a concubine on this side of the waterside pavilion becomes belonging to another person. Does this change anything?"
"At least you have a head start. You can't stay here forever, can you? If you can get along with a powerful person in the capital, you can make a comeback."
Miss Su glanced at the little maid Lu'er, shook her head and said quietly: "Even if you take me as a concubine, it's just a plaything. At least there is still room for rejection here..."
Little Lu'er pouted unhappily, took the stack of paper on the table and stuffed it into Miss Su's hand, and solemnly warned: "Anyway, I think it's better than here...
Miss, while you are still a poor man, you’d better find a suitable home as soon as possible.
Stay here, once you are forced to lose your virginity one day, it will be too late to regret it... In addition, according to my inquiry, the steward in the building is a little dissatisfied with the young lady who has not seen anyone in the past six months. There are some bad women on the second and third floors.
They are also talking bad things about the lady underneath."
"A suitable destination?" Miss Su laughed at herself: "It's not easy to find someone who understands your heart in your lifetime. What's more, here... would an upright and pure person come to a place like this?"
"No matter what, miss, you should take a look anyway. Maybe you will meet someone who knows your feelings today?" After saying that, Xiao Lu'er took out a piece of paper from the stack of papers, her eyes lit up, and said: "Miss, I think
This person wrote well. "The crane is a spiritual creature of heaven and earth, an outstanding human being. It raises its neck and roars, flutters its wings and dances..."
"Can you explain why the crane stands on one leg?" Miss Su asked lightly.
"Uh...he doesn't seem to have an explanation." Little Luerzi read it carefully several times, and then realized that this was an article praising the crane. As for why the crane stood on one foot, the young man would have a hard time answering it.
"Then don't choose him, just put him aside."
"..." Little Lu'er looked at Miss Su hesitantly and said cautiously: "Miss, you didn't deliberately ask a question that no one can answer, did you?"
"Why do you think that?"
"Because...Miss, you haven't seen anyone in the past six months."
"That's just because those people's answers didn't suit my wishes." Miss Su said lightly.
Little Lu'er looked disbelieving and asked: "What is the answer to the question this time that suits the lady's wishes? If it were you, lady, how would you answer?"
After hearing this, Miss Su was silent for a moment, looked up at the scenery outside the window and murmured: "I will say...the reason why the crane stands on one foot is because it doesn't want the other foot to get stuck in the mud."
"Miss, what do you mean by this? I don't understand." Lu'er asked in confusion.
"It's better if you don't understand. If one day you can understand this sentence... that would be bad."
Little Lu'er nodded as if she understood something, and looked through the answers of the guests in the hall downstairs one by one. Unfortunately, after looking at more than a dozen pictures, no one said what Miss Su was thinking.
Ms. Su was not surprised by this, she just looked out the window in concentration.
Suddenly, Little Lu'er didn't know what he saw, and burst into laughter.
Miss Su was stunned and looked at Little Lu'er in confusion, only to see the latter covered her mouth and said happily: "Miss, Miss, what this person said is so interesting. He said..."The reason why the crane stands on one foot
, one foot is curled up, because if both feet are curled up, then you are kneeling down."
"puff--"
Even Miss Su, who was full of sorrow, couldn't help but feel happy when she heard these words.
Little Lu'er also noticed Miss Su's expression and asked tentatively: "Miss, would you like to meet this person?"
"This..." Miss Su hesitated rarely.
To say that she agreed, this person did not express her feelings, and he could not be regarded as "a person who knows her thoughts." But if she disagreed, she found this person's answer to be very interesting indeed.
"Let's meet, let's meet, he might be a rich man with good looks and money!" Seeing the hesitation on his lady's face, Little Lu'er encouraged him while the iron was hot.
"Seeing this person makes me smile..."
Miss Su, who hadn't smiled in countless days, made up her mind.
"Then... let's meet... What's that young man's name?"
"Jiang Run!"
After dropping the person's name, Little Lu'er ran out happily, ran to the pavilion on the second floor, and shouted: "Who is Mr. Jiang Runjiang? Miss Su from Cuixiaoxuan invites you."
"Wow——"
Suddenly the whole hall was in an uproar, and everyone in the hall looked shocked.
Who doesn't know that Miss Su from Cuixiaoxuan has never seen anyone alone since she hung up her sign on this waterside pavilion half a year ago. Unexpectedly, today she made an exception.
"Who knows which lucky guy it is!"
A rich man in bright clothes said bitterly, his eyes full of jealousy.
"Jiang Run?...Isn't that your Highness?"
At first, Shen Yu, Mu Qing, and Lu Mu were still resentful that Miss Su was blind and did not choose their Highness. After thinking about it, they suddenly realized that Jiang Run was just the pseudonym of their Highness!
And just when they were surprised, Zhao Hongrun stood up slowly, waved his sleeves and put his hands behind his back, walking towards the stairs leading to the second floor with great dignity: "I'm right down there!"
"..."
Seeing that Zhao Hongrun, a boy who seemed to be only fourteen or fifteen years old at first glance, could receive such an honor, everyone in the hall was shocked.
And that maid, Xiao Luer, was completely dumbfounded and looked at Zhao Hongrun with her mouth agape.
You must know that she originally hoped that the Miss Su she was serving could become a rich and powerful person in the capital, so she kept trying to persuade her from the side. However, she did not expect that the young man who answered the questions interestingly was not only dressed shabbily, but was actually older than She is even younger.
Little Lu'er really wanted to scold Fangfang: This stinky brat, if he doesn't stay at home, why would he come to this waterside pavilion to join in blindly?
"You...you are Jiang Run?" Xiao Lu'er confirmed again, but she still found it difficult to accept it.
"Exactly."
Hearing Zhao Hongrun confirm his identity again, Xiao Lu'er sighed helplessly and said perfunctorily: "Come with me, Miss wants to see you."
Perhaps seeing that Zhao Hongrun didn't look like a kid from a rich family, Xiao Lu'er didn't bother to treat him warmly.
However, when she led Zhao Hongrun to Cuixiaoxuan on the third floor, she discovered that besides Zhao Hongrun, there were three other people following her.
"You...what are you doing here?"
Shen Yu frowned and said, "The three of me are responsible for protecting the young master. Wherever the young master goes, the three of us will naturally go there too."
"Young Master? How can there be such a shabby young master? From this point of view, even if he is from any family, he will not be a rich master."
Little Lu'er tilted her head and looked at Zhao Hongrun for a long time, then said rudely: "No, Miss Su just wants to see him."
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun turned his head and glanced at Shen Yu: "Shen Yu, why don't you go to the lobby and wait for me."
"No." Shen Yu shook his head and said seriously: "No matter what, someone must follow the young master."
Just kidding, what is the purpose of their Zongwei’s existence? Isn’t it just to protect His Highness? There is no reason to abandon His Highness.
"How about this, Mu Qing, you follow the young master in, and Lu Mu and I will guard the door."
The three Zongwei decided on their own.
After all, it is related to the safety of the Wei prince. On this matter of principle, the Zongwei will not compromise. One person must follow Zhao Hongrun at all times to ensure that the latter is within sight and the others will not stray too far away. , because this is the foundation of their existence.
"That's it." Mu Qing nodded, ignored Xiao Lu'er's jumping and said no, stretched out his hand to push Cui Xiaoxuan's door open: "Sir, please."
"You... you..." Xiao Lu'er angrily wanted to stop them, but at this moment, Miss Su's soft words came from the room: "Lu'er, don't stop me. Since it's Young Master Jiang, It’s okay for the guards at home to come in, please come in.”
"...Yes." Lu'er pouted unhappily and snorted: "Since the lady has spoken, you can go in."
Shen Yu, Mu Qing, and Lu Mu did not say anything, and followed Zhao Hongrun into the house. They sat down at the window facing the front, behind the door, and in the diagonal corner with their legs crossed and their chests crossed. There is a posture that vaguely surrounds this room.
Zhao Hongrun, on the other hand, looked at the paintings hanging on the walls around the house in surprise.
Cranes, all cranes!
