Chapter 600
At this point, the two maids stood at the door, not daring to take another step forward.
Honeysuckle suppressed her worry and followed him into the outer room. When she saw the screen in the inner room, she stopped.
I just saw the Fourth Young Master walk in quickly.
After drinking, Song Guanzhou arrived at the Manyue Tower and sat alone in the room, feeling more and more bored. Listening to the sound of stringed instruments in the front yard, the effects of the alcohol that he had suppressed came back and he yawned one after another. In the end, he could no longer bear the heavy eyelids and fell asleep on the couch.
During this time, Zhu Baoyue asked Juan'er and Wan'er to watch over him. When she heard that the young lady was resting in her room, she asked them to bring a newly made autumn quilt to cover Song Guanzhou.
"Don't let the young lady use any of the dirty things. She is precious, so don't let her be polluted."
It was so thoughtful that even I was a little dazed.
"My dear girl, my son, why are you so respectful to the young lady?"
Zhu Baoyue had just played two songs and danced for half a show. Now she retreated to the side of the main room, sat cross-legged and took a break.
Hearing what my mother said, I smiled faintly.
"I don't know why, mom said that young lady is good?"
The old lady was slightly stunned. She made some honey tea for Zhu Baoyue and handed it to her before saying, "Good, very good."
Zhu Baoyue was not in a hurry to drink tea, but tilted her head to look over.
"Mom, tell me what's the best way to do this. It seems like you and your daughter have the same idea."
"During the Lantern Festival at the beginning of the year, she sent people to smash the Manyue Tower. I saw her hideous face at that time. She didn't look like a rich lady at all, but just like an ordinary street shrew. Ke'er, we make a living from this. When we met such a scoundrel, we couldn't ask for justice. We could only avoid her in the future, but I didn't expect that she is a completely different person now!"
Zhu Baoyue smiled softly.
"The young lady apologized to me, and later at Miss Jin's peach blossom banquet, I saw that the young lady did not embarrass weak people like me. She was born rich, so I didn't dare to get close to her. I just wanted to avoid offending her. But - you see, now the young lady treats me more attentively than you do."
I wanted to refute, but when I thought about how generous the young lady had been over the past six months, even though the gift was sent privately by someone else, she was even more generous than the second son of the Qin family.
The key is to be attentive.
"It's rare that the young lady doesn't despise us."
Zhu Baoyue's eyes were bright and clear. "Mom, it's not rare, it's the only one. Although the eldest lady has never despised my humble background, think about it, mom, is it true that the eldest lady doesn't despise me when she is with me?"
Whether walking, sitting or lying down, drinking wine or tasting tea, she would cook for herself with her maid.
Not to mention setting foot in her inner room.
The difference between heaven and earth is not so easy to cross. On the other hand, the young lady, Zhu Baoyue, seemed to think of many beautiful things, and her face softened. The light of the lamp reflected on her, making her no longer a prostitute who had struggled in the dust, but instead she looked like the daughter of an ordinary niece from a small family, full of innocence.
"My son, it is true what you said."
Zhu Baoyue nodded heavily. "In this world, I have served many dignitaries, including high-ranking officials and talented men. But in the end, the only one who treated me as a human being was the young lady."
what--
The old lady was full of surprise. Seeing that no one around her was paying attention, she immediately leaned close to Zhu Baoyue's ear and said, "My son, you can't say that."
Zhu Baoyue disagreed and sighed.
"I am a person of the lower class, how can I be considered a human being? I have always thought of myself this way, but when I came to the young lady, she not only did not mind the shoes and socks I made for her, but she wore them when she went to the Huang family for a banquet. Today, when she came out to watch the moon with the fourth young master, she also wore them—"
Zhu Baoyue placed her hands on her chest and said sincerely, "She treats me like a human being, so I must respect her."
Before he finished speaking, Wan'er trotted in, passed through the happy crowd of people singing and dancing in the hall, found the girl sitting cross-legged on the ground behind the pillar, knelt down and reported, "Miss, the fourth young master is here to pick up the young lady."
coming?
Zhu Baoyue raised her eyes, with more of a sigh of relief in her eyes.
Wan'er nodded repeatedly in her little head, "There are quite a few young men, the second young master of the Qin family, the eldest young master of the Huang family, as well as the maidservant in front of the young lady, and a girl who loves to laugh."
Zhu Baoyue quickly stood up and let her mother help her smooth out the wrinkles on her dress.
"Girl, are you going to...?"
"I'll go see the young lady off."
In the main hall, some sharp-eyed men grabbed Zhu Baoyue's skirt and said, "Good girl, come and have another drink!"
She turned around and bowed gracefully, "Please allow me to change my clothes and then I will dance for you distinguished guests."
Dance again?
There was a wealthy official who was displeased and wanted to grab Zhu Baoyue's hand and rub it against his chest. Zhu Baoyue struggled for several times before she was able to leave.
When these men first started, they were all gentle and elegant.
He bowed and greeted the girl.
After drinking for an hour or so, his true nature was revealed. He wished that Zhu Baoyue would throw away all those boring songs and dances and directly pick him to be the lover.
No matter how much music, chess, calligraphy and painting one has, their final destination is the bunk bed in the inner room.
Whenever Zhu Baoyue thought about it, she felt dirty. Fortunately, the young lady fell asleep on the newly bought short couch.
She broke free from those dirty hands and feet and quickly went to the backyard with Wan'er.
Outside the Haitang Gate, she heard some laughter inside. When she tiptoed in, she saw that originally only Sanlang Huang was in the yard, but now it was almost full of people.
Qin Qingdong turned his head and saw Zhu Baoyue.
He has always been a regular customer, so he was not shy at this moment. "Miss Baoyue, thank you so much for today."
Zhu Baoyue took light steps and came in front of the crowd.
She knelt down and saluted gently and gracefully, "I don't deserve it. It's because the young lady doesn't despise me." Qin Qingdong smiled and waved his hand, "I'm afraid she got separated from Silang and asked Huang Sanlang to bring you here. By the way, has she ever been to the front yard?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Baoyue shook her head repeatedly.
She wore an emerald hairpin on her forehead, and the emerald became even more dazzling as she moved her head slightly.
It looks really beautiful against the pretty face that looks like the full moon.
Wen Linghuan liked it and stood beside Qin Qingdong, looking him up and down without any scruples. When Zhu Baoyue looked at her, she smiled and said, "Let's see what Fourth Sister-in-law has to say. If possible, Fourth Sister-in-law and I will follow Miss Baoyue to the front yard to see the world."
"Absolutely not!"
Zhu Baoyue immediately stopped smiling and eagerly refused.
Qin Qingdong swung his fan at him, but Wen Linghuan dodged it. "Qin Erlang, I've repeatedly advised you not to show off your skills before an expert, but you just won't listen. If you hit me ten times and you don't get any good results once, I'll hit you—"
Wen Linghuan took out the fan again and slapped Qin Qingdong's arm hard.
Qin Qingdong immediately bared his teeth and said, "Your fan is really made of iron!"
