Starting from the ninth day of the lunar month, Rouge Restaurant's business was full every day. On the night of the eighth day of the lunar new year, after the girls went on stage and became famous, they did not perform at night. They could only watch their performance in the private room. The rarer an item was, the more valuable it was. The more he couldn't see it, the more he wanted to see it. If he really wanted to see it, he could only spend 500 taels of silver. However, there was still a performance downstairs, but it was replaced by a girl from the Beijing Jiyue Square. They would come at night and leave after the performance.
Initially, I was worried that the girls in the private room would be harassed, but I didn't expect those guests to be so well-mannered. They listened to music and watched dances whenever they wanted. It was very rare for them to be forced to drink. I really wanted to give them a good citizen award for being so obedient.
Starting from the eighth day of the lunar new year, the girls would take four hours in the afternoon to learn new songs and dances. The guests would hate it if the show remained unchanged. I've been so busy that I haven't had time to return to the Forgotten Dust Residence. Because they had not rested, the girls began to complain that they were too tired. I considered that their bodies really couldn't take it, so I suggested that starting from the 16th day of the first lunar month, one of the eight of them could rest every day. That is to say, one private room would be empty every day, but the income of the 500 taels of silver from the empty private room would have to be shared with the other six private rooms (my "Phoenix Room" doesn't count.)）While they complained about how stingy I was, they happily accepted it. I laughed secretly. You're still too inexperienced to play with me. In business, I'm earning retirement money!
The Lantern Festival soon arrived. When Brocade Workshop delivered the costumes, they also brought a reply from their aunt. She said that Liu Kaizhi had already set a date to officially marry her in the first half of the month. There was joy in his words. She also said that she was very worried about me after knowing that I was in the Flowerbloom Pavilion and told me to be cautious. If anything went wrong, I would immediately look for them. No matter what, she had to protect me. I finished reading it with tears in my eyes, feeling both happy and sad. It was not easy for my aunt to get happiness, but she still has to worry about me all the time. I really let her down.
During dinner, I specially asked the kitchen to prepare four-colored yuanxiao and had a good meal with the girls. Yingluo especially liked to eat sweets. She ate more than ten sesame seeds and dates in a row and laughed at the other girls. When I was putting on makeup in the lounge at night, I saw Yingluo tightening the belt on her dress and scared her."If you eat too much sweet food, you'll get fat. By then, your waist will be as thick as a bucket. Let's see who dares to want you!”
"I'm not afraid!" Yingluo smiled." It's best if no one wants it. I'll stay in Rouge Building and ask my sister to take care of me. She has to provide me with desserts every day. If you don't want it, I'll block the door with my bucket waist and not let you open the door to do business!”
Everyone laughed for a while. "Madam, it's about time." Gu Yunhe came in and said. The guests in the other rooms had all arrived, but Miss Tan Xin's Phoenix Goddess Attraction was still empty. The Ninth Prince sent someone to inform them that they had gone to the palace to eat Yuanxiao and would be back in a while.”
"He ordered the Phoenix Immortal Guide?" I glanced at Tan Xin. I wonder if it was fourteen's idea? Suppressing the doubts in my heart, I smiled and said,"Ninth Prince is really thoughtful! He even sent someone to inform them. Tan Xin, just wait. The other girls go up first. I'll give you a break after this!”
"Thank you, sister!" They laughed and went out. I sat on the recliner and closed my eyes to recover. After some time, Si Yue woke me up and said anxiously,"Madam, something bad has happened."
I quickly sat up and asked,"What happened?" Who's in trouble?"
"It's Tan Xin." She said anxiously," Tan Xin was singing very well at first. Then, for some reason, the Tenth Prince said that the Fourteenth Prince liked her and wanted Tan Xin to go back with the Fourteenth Prince to be his concubine. Tan Xin was unwilling. The Tenth Prince was very angry and smashed the table. Tan Xin was so scared that she cried. Boss Gu is trying to persuade her with the Phoenix Goddess Guide."”
I hurriedly put on my veil…and changed into a pair of specially made embroidered shoes with wood inside. This way, I looked at least three centimeters taller. He went up the stairs from the backstage lounge to the second floor and came out of the small room. Just as he reached the entrance of the Phoenix Goddess Guide, the voice of the Tenth Prince came,""…It's just a flower girl…what are you pretending for?……”
I pushed the door open and saw that the inside of the Phoenix Goddess Guide was in a mess. Tan Xin was hiding behind Gu Yunhe and wiping her tears. Yin Zhen stood in front of the table with a blank face. He pulled Yin Yuwo and stood in front of Gu Yunhe. Yin? He sat on the chair and looked at them.
"Who are you? Why did you come in?" Yin Yuwo saw me enter and shouted,"Oh, you're the girl with the flower on her face, the one who charged a thousand taels for the private room, right?”
"This little girl is playing the zither." I lowered my voice and said,"Belles, please calm down." Tan Xin is my younger sister. She was born timid, so please forgive her for her ignorance."
"Miss Jin Se, right?" Eighth Prince? "So Miss Tan Xin is your younger sister? This was easy. My brother has taken a fancy to her and wants to take her back as his concubine. Boss Gu said that he can't make the decision. I think he wants you, as his sister, to make the decision?”
"Which Baylor took a fancy to her?”I pretended not to know and looked at him.
"Of course it's our 14th!" "Your sister looks very much like a girl he likes, so even if Old Fourteen doesn't say anything, as his brother, I have to help him!"”
"What a deep brotherhood!" I chuckled,"It's just that my sister and I don't want to be a concubine."”
" Don't be ungrateful." Yin? "No matter what, Fourteenth Brother is still a Baylor. It's not an insult to your younger sister to be a concubine!"”
I didn't say anything and walked in front of Yin Zhen."Does the Fourteenth Prince really love my sister?”
" I..." Yin Zhen's eyes were unfocused as he looked at Tan Xin. His mouth was stuttering, unable to speak.
"Fourteen!" Yin? "Why are you always so soft and decisive?" she asked impatiently. Back then, eighth brother gave you the idea to ask Consort De to bestow a marriage to fourth brother so that you would have a chance to get that Ya Ge Ge. I didn't expect her to be so unlucky that fourth brother kicked her to death. Why aren't you making your move on Tan Xin now…"
Can't you hear me? What was he still saying? I was struck by lightning. So it was Yin?，This always gentle and smiling man helped Yin Zhen come up with this idea. He would never have thought that Nian Xinlian's brother, Nian Gengyao, would help Yin in the end. The key person to ascend to the throne. That's why it's said that what you plant will have consequences!
"Although she looks slightly worse than Ya Ge Ge, she has a good personality. Don't hesitate." "How much do you want?" Yin Yuwo asked loudly,"Name your price, Miss Jin Se!"”
I ignored him and continued to say to Yin Zhen,"Have you forgotten about that Jacob so quickly?”
Hearing this, Yin Zhen seemed to wake up from a dream. He didn't even look at me. "I don't like her!" Let her go, let her go!”
I quickly signaled Gu Yunhe to bring Tan Xin out. Just as I was about to withdraw, Yin? A gentle and polite voice sounded behind me."Miss Jin Se, if your sister leaves just like that, who will sing for us?”
"Eighth Prince." I didn't even turn my head."I have disturbed your mood today. How about I apologize to you at the Phoenix Seeking Phoenix tomorrow?”
"Alright!" Yin? "What about the private room fee?"”
"Count it on me." I despised him from the bottom of my heart.”After saying that, I turned around and walked out. I was afraid that if I wore it again, I would not be able to help but spit at him. What a typical rich miser.
"That's good!" "Call Fourth Brother and the others over tomorrow. Let's have some fun together."”When I heard the word "fourth brother", I couldn't help but stagger. If he comes, will he recognize me? Even Yin Zhen, who is deeply in love with me, didn't recognize me. He definitely won't recognize me, right?
He first went to see Tan Xin and comforted her, telling her to rest for the day tomorrow. "Thank you, Sister. I'm fine now." But you…"
"I'm fine." I covered her with the blanket." Sleep well. Don't think about it anymore." I promised you that I wouldn't do anything you don't like.”
"I believe in sister. I'm not afraid." Her little face was full of trust. I caressed her face and returned to my room.
reunion
He had a sleepless night and slept the entire afternoon the next day. After dinner, I changed into a long red brocade satin dress with spaghetti straps. The dress was embroidered with many peonies. The outer cover was red chiffon, and my chest was faintly visible. The hem of the dress was staggered and slanted, revealing her calves. I sat down in front of the mirror and looked at myself. I was a little surprised. His originally thin face was a little plump, and his form was more calm and less astringent. When she first looked in the mirror, she felt that she still looked like the photo on her student ID card. In just half a year, she had matured all of a sudden. However, there was a hint of sadness between his brows. Siyue helped me comb my hair into a high bun and inserted a pearl hairpin with a tortoiseshell pearl flower. There was a red peony flower on my right temple. A gold chain was placed from left to right across my forehead. A ruby in the shape of a drop of water hung between my eyebrows. I carefully drew my eyebrows, making my eyes big and charming. I put on golden-red eyeshadow, and although my lips couldn't be seen under the veil, they were still covered in a layer of honey red. She was dressed neatly and put on a pair of specially made embroidered shoes. I cast aside my distracting thoughts and smiled at the mirror. My eyebrows were dancing and my eyes were shining. Wearing a red silk veil, he could only see a pair of big eyes in the mirror. Although it was a little stuffy, it was better than being seen through.
I sat behind the veil of "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix". After playing the guzheng a few times, I heard the sound of the door getting closer and closer. I began to play and sing "After the Dusk":"Last year during Yuan night, the flower market was brightly lit. The moon rises above the willow branches, and the people make an appointment after dusk…"
Suddenly, the veil was lifted. I looked up and saw Yin Zhen standing in front of me. I didn't stop singing and continued to sing: "During Source Night this year, the moon and the lamp were still the same. I can't see the man from last year. Tears wet the sleeves of spring clothes.”
After singing, I stood up and bowed."Jin Se greets all the lords. The Baylor is lucky."
Yin Zhen's eyes widened as he looked at me.”I chuckled and deliberately winked at him."To answer the Fourteenth Prince, I am Jin Se.”
"Yes, your sister is similar to her, so naturally, you are similar to her. "The strange thing is that your voice is like hers, but…you're slightly taller than her, and she won't look at me like this, won't…" Yin Zhen's voice became lower and lower, and he walked to the outer room and sat down. I lifted the veil and walked out. Outside, Nian Yue was standing beside Yin Yuwo and pouring wine for him. In just the time it took to play a song, this idiot had already eaten all the cups and plates. Yin Zhen sat across from him and took a big gulp of wine. Si Yue came forward to add another cup, and he drank it all in one gulp. I looked at him worriedly. If he became like this because of Sonya's death, then I really had sinned. Yin? Seeing that Si Yue was about to pour him more wine, he raised his hand to stop her,"Don't drink anymore. Wait until Fourth Brother comes…"
"Why did you call him here!" "If it wasn't for him, how could Sonya have died…" Yin Zhen said coldly.
"Fourteenth Brother, stop talking!" Yin? He stopped him. Yin Zhen drank a glass of wine gloomily. "Why isn't Ninth Brother here yet?"”
"Thirteen's leg disease has relapsed again." Yin? "I'll ask Ninth Brother to welcome him."”
My heart sank. Does Yinxiang have leg problems? Why didn't I know? She wondered how he was doing now. That considerate, generous, and meticulous man…
"Eighth brother, fourth brother and thirteenth brother are here.”Yin came from outside the door? 's voice. I took advantage of the moment when they all stood up to welcome me, quietly retreated into the veil, and gently stroked the zither. His ears did not miss any sound from outside. Yin? Gentle greetings, Yin? The brisk greeting, the rough chewing sound, There were also Yinzhen's dissatisfied complaints, Yinxiang's humble apology, and Yinxiang's voice. Finally, everyone took their seats. The sound of Si Yue and Nian Yue refilling their glasses. The only one who didn't hear it was Yin? 's voice. After a moment of silence, Yin Zhen said provocatively,"Fourth Brother and Thirteenth Brother came so late, shouldn't they drink as punishment?”
"You deserve to be punished!" Yin Yuwo laughed out loud. What's your name?"
"This servant is called Siyue." Si Yue replied respectfully.
"Siyue, right? What a good name! Quickly pour wine for wangye."
"Yes, sir!" Si Yue responded crisply and filled her cup with wine.
"Your name is Siyue? What about her?" Yin? She was still so gentle.
"My name is Nian Yue." Nian Yue replied nervously.
"Not a bad name, very elegant, haha!”
" Miss Jin Se." Yin? "Everyone's here, so why don't you sing a song for us?"”
I changed the tune and sang as I played," I recall the days when the streets were green and stone, the alley was dripping with water, and the woman looked back with a smile. How could I help the drunken beauty? In a flash, the beauty passed away, and the beauty grew old. In a snap of a finger, I looked back and wasted time. Suddenly, my love became far away. The hero slept in the smoke of gunpowder. I don't want to close my eyes in the reincarnation. I deeply remember your face. This love is engraved on the stone of three lives. This life, I will drink wine to pay homage to the end of the song. The whole room is silent. "Miss Jin Se sang really well." How is it, Fourth Brother? She's even better than your Ge Ge, right?”
"Tenth Brother!" Yin? "Miss Jin Se, the song is over. Shouldn't you come out and meet Prince Yong and the Thirteenth Prince?" he asked with a gentle smile.”
I stood up and composed myself. The moment I lifted the veil, I smiled and said,"Since His Highness is here, of course Jin Se has to meet him!”
Looking up at Yin? She tried her best to keep her eyes emotionless. He seemed to be a little tanned and thinner. The moment he saw me, his originally expressionless face seemed a little lost. Before he could speak, I bent down to greet him."Jin Se greets Your Highness!"
"You are…"
"I am Jin Se!" "Your Highness, you haven't even drunk yet, how can you be drunk?"”
"Take off the veil!" Yin? The order came.
"Why, does Your Highness not know?" "My face can only be seen by my husband. If your highness sees it, you must marry me."”
"Good!" Yin? "Take off your veil!" she replied decisively.”Yin? He Yin Yuwo put down the wine cup in his hand in surprise and stared at us. Yin Zhen stood up and walked to my side. Yin, who had always been gentle and polite? He also held the wine glass in his hand tightly. Yinxiang also looked up at me, his eyes full of confusion.
"Your Highness might not have heard it clearly!" Me against Yin? "I'm not talking about marrying a concubine, I'm talking about marrying the Fujin!" I don't want to be a princess, and I don't want to be a concubine!”
"Alright, I'll make you the Fujin." Yin? His tone was filled with eagerness and anticipation. Just as I was about to speak, Yin Yuwo shouted,""Fourth Brother, are you joking? She's a courtesan, how can you marry her to be the Fujin?”
"She's just a woman who looks like Sang Ya. If Fourth Brother is really so infatuated with her, why did he treat her like that back then?”Yin Zhen provoked.
Not waiting for Yin? "Who is the Sonya that the Fourteenth Prince is talking about?"”
"She is the most beautiful woman in the world!”" But Ling, Ling doesn't treat her well…" Zhen was so excited that he was incoherent.
"Is that so?" I took half a step back.”
"Fourth Brother, he…"
"I broke my oath and married another bride. She paid her respects to the bride and knelt down even if she was scalded. I even ordered people to kill her personal maid and kick out the fetus in her belly.”
"Is that so?" My voice was very cold, and my eyes were even colder."Her highness treated her like this, she must be very sad right?”
" She…" Yin? Her lips were trembling.”
"Aiya! How did he die?" My tone was filled with sympathy.。
" The imperial physician said that it caused blood consumption after the miscarriage…" Yin? "It only took two days…to go…" he muttered to himself in a daze.
"How pitiful!" "So she was kicked to death by His Highness?" I asked coldly. Tsk tsk, a woman's life is a splash! How could a weak woman like her endure so much pain? Perhaps death was the best release! If she was still alive, she would definitely hate his highness to the bone and would never forgive him! It's better to die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yin? He took a big step back. His face was pale and his eyes were red. His face was filled with pain and shock. I felt a burst of pleasure in my heart, but at the same time, it hurt. Yin Zhen suddenly revealed a fierce look. "It's you! You killed her!" he roared. You still have the face to say that! Give Sonya back to me, give her back to me!"
"Fourteenth Brother!" "Are you crazy?!" Yinxiang shouted. Brother Four was also very sad that Sonya was dead. Now that she had caused such a ruckus because of a singer who looked like her, what would happen if the emperor heard about it? Hasn't Fourth Brother suffered enough punishment?" After saying that, he said to Yin? "Fourth Brother, this girl only looks like Sonya. Don't make things difficult for her anymore." The Fujin is pregnant. If you look at her face, can you really marry her?”
When I heard that the Fujin was pregnant, my eyes flashed with coldness. Yinxiang seemed to have noticed it and coughed uncomfortably."My leg hurts again. Let's sit down and talk.”Then he said to me,"Miss Jin Se, why don't you go in and sing a few more songs for us?"”
"Yes." I bowed and entered the inner room. Sitting in front of him, the outside began to become lively. Yin Yuwo began to shout loudly that this was delicious and that was delicious. I opened my mouth and sang softly: When will the spring flowers and autumn moon end? How much do you know about the past?
The east wind blew last night in the small building, and the old country could not bear to look back on the bright moon.
The carved railings and jade bricks should still be there, but the red face has changed.
Ask you how much sorrow you can have, just like a river flowing eastward in spring.
After the song, Yinxiang walked in and said to me,"Does Miss Jin Se like Li Yu's poems very much?”
"Thirteenth Prince, why do you ask this?”I leaned against the couch and looked at him.
"Because you always sing his lyrics.”
"Then what does the Thirteenth Prince like to hear?”I lazily plucked the strings a few times, but his expression suddenly changed. His gaze shifted to my hands and then to my eyes. The moment their eyes met, his expression changed from doubt and surprise to certainty and ecstasy. I never thought that it was not the Yin Zhen who loved me to the bone, nor the Yin I once loved?，It was him. He was the first to recognize me through the barely visible scars left behind by the burn on my hand last time.
I was speechless for a moment. He stretched out his hand to remove my veil. I turned my head and tears fell. I said softly,"You want to rape me too? Do you really want me to die?”He was stunned for a moment. He lowered his hands and squatted in front of me to gently wipe away my tears."May I trouble Miss Jin Se to play another song?”
I lowered my eyes and sang loudly: The cold cicada is sad to the long pavilion at night, the rain has just stopped, the capital gate account is drinking, there is no thread, I am reluctant to leave, the orchid boat urges me to hold my hand and look at each other, the tears are silent, I am speechless, I am going to go to the thousand miles of smoke, the evening mist is heavy, Chu Tiankuo is sentimental, since ancient times, I am sad to leave, how can I be cold, autumn festival, tonight, where is the wine awake, willow shore, morning wind, waning moon, this year should be a good time, good scenery, even if there are thousands of styles...
After I finished singing, I raised my head. Yinxiang sat on the stool in front of me and looked straight at me. My heart was hot. Just as he was about to speak, Yin He Wo started shouting outside,""Thirteen! Come out! He had only drunk one glass and ran away. What was the big deal? Come out quickly!"
"I'm coming!" Yinxiang replied. He struggled to stand up. I jumped up and reached out to support him, looking at his legs worriedly. He smiled." It's fine. Don't worry, Miss Jin Se."”
He deliberately emphasized the word "Jin Se". I knew that he would not reveal my secret. He smiled gratefully at him and turned to leave. I stayed in the inner room and continued to play the song, but it was already out of tune…
