Shuilian Pavilion
The windows were bright and clean, and the breeze was blowing…The snow-like curtains swayed gently, and the rich fragrance of tea filled the air.
Her black hair danced in the wind, and her bright eyes stared at the man who was walking over. Those sharp facial features and deep eyes. His thin lips were slightly pursed under his tall nose. He was wearing a blue robe with golden embroidery and a jade belt inlaid with sparkling gems. His footsteps were heavy, and his aura was extremely noble. Wasn't he the man who came and left in a hurry last time?
Shui Lian suddenly felt her heart pounding, as if her snow-white cheeks had quietly climbed up to the red clouds. The tube top revealed her fair and bare neck, making her look charming. Originally, it was said that there was no true love in the world of pleasure, but now she could not move her beautiful eyes. Had it fallen? How could she be at a loss at this moment like the head of the courtesans who used to play with men in the palm of her hands?
"Lian Er, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and invite Young Master to take a seat." The brothel madame frowned when she saw Shui Lian staring at the blue-robed man. She had never expected that the girl she had trained would be unable to resist the temptation of a handsome man. This was bad. If these two people really came for the Four Courtesan Belles, wouldn't they all be charmed away by him?
"Yes." Shui Lian came back to her senses and bowed to the blue-robed man. She smiled lightly and said," I'm sorry for being rude. Please don't take offense."”As he spoke, he led the blue-robed man and the black-robed man to the table.
"No, it's our fault for disturbing Young Lady's rest.”The blue-robed man's lips curled up slightly. Although his words were apologetic, his actions were extremely elegant, giving off a feeling of superiority.
Ying followed the blue-robed man to his seat and watched Shui Lian personally prepare tea for the two of them. When the tea was poured in, the fragrance of tea filled the room.
"Lian 'er, please serve these two masters well. Mom, I won't disturb you anymore." The brothel madame said and bowed to the blue-robed man. After stepping out of the Water Shackle Pavilion, the fake smile on his face immediately disappeared. With a solemn expression, he instructed Shui Lian's personal maid, Bi 'er, to serve her well. After telling her what he had heard and seen, he hurried out.
"Masters, do you want to listen to a song?" Shui Lian brewed tea for the two of them and sat elegantly by the table. Her slender fingers casually plucked the strings of the zither as she asked with a faint smile.
"I heard that Miss Shui Lian's song is superb, how could we miss it?”The blue-robed man waved his jade fan gently. The hair on his forehead fell and covered his eyes, making it impossible for others to see the thoughts in his eyes.
"What song would Young Master like to listen to?”Shui Lian curled her lips and smiled charmingly. She looked at the blue-robed man with a hint of innocence and seduction. At that moment, a thought flashed through his mind. If she could make this young master fall in love with her, even if she had to be a concubine, it would be better than being welcomed and sent away in a brothel and watching her youth pass away. Moreover, she had a very good impression of this young master, so this thought made her feel even more blissful.
"We will listen to whatever Young Lady plays.”The blue-robed man leaned back in his chair. He looked lazy and evil.
Shui Lian lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then placed his hands on the zither. Her delicate hands gently plucked the strings, and a clear and gentle music flowed out. She opened her lips slightly and said in a voice like an oriole,
Phoenix, phoenix, phoenix.
I haven't met you yet. I don't know where to go. How can I understand today? Go to this hall!
There is a beautiful lady in the boudoir, the room is close to the people far away poison my intestines.
Why do you have to cross your neck to become mandarin ducks, Hu Jie can fly together ah!
Oh, oh, come to me to live, and I will be a concubine forever.
Who is the man who knows me in the middle of the night?
Both wings fly high, do not feel my thoughts make me sad.
The song he sang was actually a song called " Phoenix Seeking Phoenix."
As she elegantly plucked the strings and sang, her charming eyes stared deeply at the blue-robed man. The wind outside the window blew, causing her hair and robes to flutter.
She was so beautiful, a picturesque scene.
The black-robed man, who had been silent all this while, looked at Shui Lian with surprise. Looking at the way she was staring at Master, she was mesmerized by Master.
The blue-robed man did not seem to notice Shui Lian's expression. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He clapped his hands and praised.
"It's indeed a good song and a good voice.”
"Young Master, you flatter me." The blue-robed man's praise made Shui Lian laugh happily, but what she was most concerned about was whether he understood what she meant.
"I am very curious." The blue-robed man looked at Shui Lian, who was smiling faintly, and raised his dashing eyebrows. "Miss Shui Lian is so talented and beautiful, why would she be willing to stay in Yuexiang Pavilion?”
“……”
Shui Lian's expression turned solemn. The blue-robed young master's question made her guess in her heart," Did he mean that she shouldn't be in such a place? Or was he rejecting her goodwill and saying that her status was too low for him?
Her watery eyes quickly swept over him, only to see him smiling faintly. It didn't seem like he was looking down on her identity as a brothel girl. Could it be that he pitied her? He lowered his head as he guessed. When she looked up again, her eyes were already filled with tears, and her expression was pitiful. She lifted her lips and said with a slightly sad tone,
"I don't want to either, but what else can people of our status do? Besides, although Yuexiang Pavilion is a brothel, I am a prostitute who sells my skills and not my body.”
"Is the owner of Yuexiang Pavilion good to you?”Seeing that he did not get an answer, the blue-robed man asked again.
"Not bad." Shui Lian nodded." Although the boss is young, he has talent. She had handed Yuexiang Pavilion to her mother to manage, and it was rare for her to come here.”
"Young?" The blue-robed man ruminated over these words. Could it be that there was a little fellow in charge of Yuexiang Pavilion? The corners of his lips curled up, and he became more and more interested in the secret hidden behind Yuexiang Pavilion.
"Yes." Shui Lian thought of the owner of Yuexiang Pavilion, who was both respectful and fearful. She had never seen such a powerful child. It was simply unbelievable. The coldness that she emitted and the wisdom that she revealed were not something ordinary people could do.
"After hearing what you said, I am very interested in the Little Boss you mentioned.”The blue-robed man fanned himself, not hiding his feelings.
"Oh?" Shui Lian smiled faintly. Little Boss had a special status and was not someone they could invite over. "Young Master is a talented man with an extraordinary bearing. I think his achievements are no less than our boss.”She glanced at him with her charming eyes.
"Young Lady, you flatter me." The blue-robed man replied with a smile, as if he did not understand her question about his identity.
"What does Young Master do for a living?" Shui Lian was not annoyed by the man's words, so she asked with a smile.
"I'm just doing a small business.”The blue-robed man said lightly," Naturally, it can't compare to the daily income of your Yuexiang Pavilion. I think that little boss must be a genius with a business mind?”The words returned to the original question.
"That's true." Shui Lian heard him say he was a businessman and dressed well. He was overjoyed. Although the workers, peasants, and merchants were the lowest class, merchants were the lowest class. But in fact, merchants were the upper-class people. Money could make the world go around. If she could marry into his family, she would not have to worry about the rest of her life, even if she did not have a high status and wealth. Seeing that he was interested in Little Boss, she followed his words. "Although our Yuexiang Pavilion is an old brothel, it really became popular four years ago. Four years ago, our Little Boss was only a five-year-old child. When she said that she wanted to take over Yuexiang Pavilion and develop her into the largest brothel in the Heavenly Shine Empire, we did not believe her. However, Yuexiang Pavilion was also in a difficult situation at that time. In addition to her boldness and determination, her mother said that it was better to take a gamble. However, he didn't expect things to develop so well as Little Boss had said.”
"A five-year-old child?" The blue-robed man raised his eyebrows when he heard her. "Miss Shui Lian, you must be joking. How can a five-year-old child have such ability?”A five-year-old child turned a brothel into the largest brothel that earned money every day. It sounded like a fantasy. Even when he was five years old, he probably didn't have this ability. Could there really be such a powerful child?
"Why would I lie to Young Master?" Shui Lian smiled lightly." I'm here personally. It's true.”
"If that's the case, then he's really a child prodigy.”The blue-robed man's deep eyes flashed as he said faintly.
Shadow sat at the side, his cold eyes flashing slightly.
"May I know the name of that little boss?" The blue-robed man was eager to see the child. He wanted to meet such a genius.
"This…"
Hearing the blue-robed man's question, Shui Lian suddenly realized that he had revealed too much. Her charming face looked troubled. Although it would be good if she could marry into a rich family, if she really revealed her identity as Little Boss, she was afraid that she would not be able to enjoy the blessing. Her mind flashed past those black gem-like eyes that flickered with a cold and ruthless expression, and she could not help but tremble.
The blue-robed man's eyes flashed. It seemed that she was not too stupid. He had already realized that he had revealed too much and was now beginning to keep his mouth shut.
Ying tilted her head slightly and noticed that the little maid who had been waiting at the side had quietly left the room. It seemed like he was going to report. Perhaps the person his master wanted to see would be seen soon.
