The heavy rain that lasted for a day made Shangshangju a little deserted today. Not only inside the building, but also on the long street and canal outside the building, there were only a few scattered heads. The wind was cold and cold, and it seemed to hang on Ruo Chuji's pink face like a goose egg.
A little pale.
A wide field of view is also good, at least you can see pedestrians on the street more clearly.
At the window, the first frown led to a twist: "You obviously said you would come?"
Just as I was thinking about it, the door to the room was opened by the madam.
This old woman came to see the new aunt. She remembered that she was wearing thin clothes yesterday. It rained heavily today and the weather was much cooler. When she opened the door, the aunt in the room was still wearing yesterday's thin clothes and was sitting at the window blowing the air. She immediately became anxious.
Not good enough.
"My little aunt, why are you opening the window on such a cold day? If you catch a cold, I can't bear the trouble of that young master coming to trouble me."
Saying that, the madam quickly closed the window, took her little hands, which were cold for the first time, and rubbed them vigorously.
Chu Jian's thoughts were still outside, and he frowned and asked the madam: "Mom, did my young master really say that he would come to see me this morning?"
"Hey, you girl! I've asked you a hundred times!" The old madam couldn't do anything about this girl, so she said earnestly, "Don't worry, mom tells the truth and won't lie to you."
"But it's almost noon, why is the young master still missing?"
"Sister-in-law, look at the weather outside. It's raining so heavily. You said that your young master has a precious life. How can he come here in such heavy rain? Yesterday, he was talking about early morning. I'm afraid of the rain today.
It'll be afternoon. If the rain doesn't stop, I'm afraid we'll have to wait."
"So, if the rain doesn't stop, my young master won't come?" Chu Jian thought, with an annoyed look on his face, "This damn rain won't come sooner or later, when will it end?
"
"Oops! My dear daughter! You can't do this! You are your son when you open your mouth and keep silent. What can you do if you behave like this when you meet guests someday? Come on, don't think about your son now. I will take care of it for you.
I bought some winter clothes, so wear them quickly so you don’t catch a cold.”
With that said, the madam put down the package she had brought with her, which contained several winter coats. Although they were not very pretty, they were warm after all.
Ruo Chuqian was frightened by the madam's behavior. This kind of treatment was completely different from the previous treatment in the building where she lived.
The madam forced the clothes onto Ruo Chujian, and Chujian hugged her and said thank you.
Then the madam left.
Sitting in the room, I might be a little surprised if I meet him for the first time, but after a while it becomes boring enough.
Thinking about what the madam said earlier, I don't know why I suddenly became so attached to the young master. Thinking about it carefully, I feel a little shy, and I also know that this is absolutely inappropriate.
"What is my identity? How can I have any undue thoughts about the young master?"
While chatting, Chu Jian felt that it was time for a change. He came to a new place, and based on his past experience, he should take the initiative to make friends with a few sisters in the building. If someone talks to him in the future, it won't be so boring.
When we first met out of the house, I tried my best to be gentle and courteous in my words, thinking that this would win the favor of the girl in the building.
But the result was that Chu Jian was disappointed.
Chu Jian lived on the third floor, and after walking around the corridor, he found that no one was willing to talk to Chu Jian. There were several girls watching downstairs by the fence, chatting in twos and threes, and they didn't want Chu Jian to come over.
They all retreated into the house and avoided seeing him.
Such a situation caught Chu Jian unexpectedly, so he stood in front of his house and wondered why.
Not long after, the girls who had been hiding from Chu Jian came out of the house again, and found that Chu Jian was still outside. They all cast strange looks at Chu Jian, and they all looked at Chu Jian, and they didn't know what they saw.
"Look at that girl, she's so beautiful. Her watery eyes are sparkling, and she pretends to be so pure."
"I've seen this kind of woman a lot. On the surface, she looks like a woman from a good family, but when it comes to bed, she has many tricks up her sleeve."
"That woman doesn't know what tricks she can use to make her mother take such good care of her. It's really irritating to see her."
"What's there to be angry about? Look at her appearance. Even though she's not considered to be the best, she should be the best, and she should live in a high-class residence. But now she's reduced to working with you and me, and there's probably something fishy about it.
of."
"Don't talk about it, I have actually heard someone say that there is a man behind this woman who is not clear to her mother. It seems that her mother has received benefits from others, and she wants her to take good care of her and praise her as a good person.
He is a famous gentleman."
"How is this possible? How can my mother be the one who can suffer the loss? Just because she lives here, she will never be famous in her life."
"That's right. There are so many women these days who want to become famous through Shang Shang Ju. If my mother doesn't have any means to control it, how can Shang Shang Ju be where it is today? Let's see how long this woman can be arrogant."
Several people across from each other were discussing together, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the content of the conversation happened to fall into Chu Jian's ears.
Thinking about his previous situation, he naturally understood why no one talked to him.
The sourness of the people across from me was not that I was concerned about it at first sight, but that I didn't understand what they meant by "Xia Ce Ju".
So Chu Jian went downstairs. Since no girl was willing to talk to her, he simply called a big teapot and asked.
After some inquiring, I found out that the Qinghuang people who lived on the upper side were divided into five classes. From top to bottom, they were: the first class on the upper side, the second class on the upper side, the third class on the middle hall, and the fourth class on the lower side.
Fifth class.
Among them, the first class is called the most famous courtesan in the upper class. It is believed that a girl who can be in the upper class must be a beauty with stunning skills who can easily stir up Suzhou's romantic scene. It can be said that she is a star that attracts everyone's attention.
.The second-class upper class is slightly inferior, but they are also the beauties pursued by rich young men who are willing to spend a lot of money just to see them. The Zhongtang ones are quite regular, with outstanding talents but slightly inferior looks, and they are also pursued by the majority of the people.
Popular. As for Xia Ce and Xia Xia Ce, there is less attention. Usually, few people are willing to interact with these second-class girls.
In fact, it’s not that the girls who make bad decisions or those who make bad choices are bad, there are also some who are both talented and beautiful. It’s just that the second-class status seems a bit shabby to the guests, and it doesn’t sound good when it is spread, so few people are willing to spend time on this second-class one.
On the girl.
Now that Chu Jian is placed in the fourth position, the intention of the madam is obvious. On the one hand, it is to silence Xia Shang, and on the other hand, he does not want Chu Jian to take advantage of his position and become popular. Generally speaking,
I came here because I didn’t want to cause any complications.
I read the documents yesterday and thought about it for the first time all night. After a few pages, I understood some of the young master’s thoughts, and I also knew that my mission should be to make money. But if you put yourself in a bad position, it will be extremely difficult to increase your worth, and you won’t be able to make money.
How much money...
Wouldn’t this be a way to live up to the young master’s expectations? (To be continued)
