Chapter 210 Ancient Literature (Thirteen)

On one side of the table was Fu Lai, who was talking incessantly and spouting nonsense; on the other side was Ning Ruoyuan, who responded with a smile; and there was also the impatient Duan Fuqing and the gluttonous Chu Yun.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Ning. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to eat such delicious lotus cakes, haha..."

Fulai chatted with Ning Ruyu while eating. This Mr. Ning was very gentle and had a very good temper. He always smiled at him.

The most important thing is that Master Ning took off his veil, revealing a face like an angel, fox eyes, cherry lips, and a few strands of hair hanging in front of his forehead. The wind blew and made Fulai's heart itchy.

The young man's heart was pounding.

Ning Ruoyuan smiled and lowered her head when she heard this:

"As long as the benefactors like it."

Fulai blushed and stammered:

"I like... I like you. Don't call me benefactor. It's more distant. Just call me Fulai."

Ning Ruoyuan just nodded when he heard this and looked at the person opposite him:

"May I know the names of these two gentlemen?"

Duan Fuqing said succinctly: "My last name is Duan."

Fulai sensed that the atmosphere was not right. Why was the Third Young Master so cold towards the beauty?

"Haha... this dish is really good, Mr. Ning, please try it."

He wanted to change the subject, but Master Ning ignored him and continued asking questions.

"What about this young master? What's his name?"

No one spoke at the table for about three seconds. Chu Yun lowered his head and enjoyed his meal. He didn't know whether Ning Ruoyuan was talking to him or Fu Lai was taking over. He was afraid that Ning Ruoyuan's words would fall to the ground.

"Oh, Xiaoyun. I don't know her last name, but she's a little beggar that the Third Young Master and I picked up on the road."

He then added:

"Don't mind me, Mr. Ning. He doesn't understand what people say, and he doesn't speak our language. I don't know where he came from..."

Duan Fuqing had been observing Ning Ruoyuan. He saw disappointment in Ning Ruoyuan's eyes after Fu Lai said this. It was only for a moment, but he still caught it.

"beggar?"

"Yes, when I saw Xiaoyun, he was in tatters and looked very pitiful. He had no other hobbies except eating."

After saying this, Fu shrugged and motioned everyone to look at Chuyun. Chuyun was seen secretly taking the last piece of lotus cake on the table, blinking his eyes and looking very cautious, looking very stupid.

Duan Fuqing held his forehead and placed the cake directly in front of him:

"It's all yours."

Chu Yun looked up and saw that everyone was looking at him. He swallowed the food in his mouth and smiled shyly.

Ning Ruoyuan chuckled.

"Xiaoyun...how interesting."

"Xiaoyun, do you like lotus cakes? How about I ask Xiaocui to buy some for you tomorrow?"

Ning Ruoyuan only wanted to look at Chuyun, but Fulai waved his hand.

"Mr. Ning, it's useless. He can't understand what we are saying."

Chu Yun didn't understand what the others were saying. He just stood there stiffly, not knowing whether to eat or put down the pastries in his hand.

Duan Fuqing snatched it away and fed it into his mouth.

"Eat, eat."

Ning Ruoyuan, who saw this scene, remained calm, picked up the teacup and drank it slowly, leaving Fu Kan in a daze.

"Master Duan is so good to Xiaoyun..."

Duan Fuqing didn't want to take up his conversation, so the chatterbox Fu Lai spoke up:

"Yes, yes. Our master treats his servants very well. Xiaoyun loves to eat lychees. This morning, the master gave all the lychees to Xiaoyun."

After hearing this, Ning Ruoyuan turned her head and finally looked at Fulai:

"Really... Xiaoyun likes lychees?"

Fu Lai felt dizzy when the beauty looked at him like that.

"Yeah... I bought some today, and Xiaoyun loved it. But then again... there's nothing he doesn't like to eat, except for steamed bread."

"I also... bought a lot of lychees. I have a lot here. I'll ask Xiao Cui to deliver them to you."

This time Fulai was unable to speak, so Duan Fuqing interrupted.

"No need. We will be leaving early tomorrow morning. Lychees are a precious food, so Master Ning should keep them."

"You're leaving tomorrow?"

"Yes, yes, we arrived yesterday and have only rested for two days. I'm really reluctant to leave..."

Fu Lai lowered his head shyly at the end, but unfortunately Ning Ruoyuan still didn't respond to him.

"Where are you from? Zhouning County has a lot of fun places. Why don't you spend a few more days there?"

Ning Ruoyuan adjusted his expression and spoke with a smile.

"From Beijing..."

"Ahem."

Duan Fuqing was impressed by this idiot. He was usually quite clever, but why was he acting like an idiot at this moment? He just answered whatever was asked.

When Fulai saw the Third Young Master coughing, he realized that he had said too much, so he smiled awkwardly and stopped talking.

But Ning Ruoyuan already knew that he was from the capital.

He looked at the master and his two servants. Xiaoyun was not curious about their conversation at all. From beginning to end, he hardly raised his head except to pick up food.

Ning Ruoyuan boasted that God had given her a good-looking face, but she felt inferior to the "little beggar" as Fulai called him.

He hated greedy people, and there were such people everywhere in Lanyue Pavilion, but when greedy and gluttonous people were on Xiaoyun, they seemed cute and adorable.

This was not the first time Ning Ruyuan saw him. Yesterday at Yinglu Inn was their first meeting.

Every day he watched other brothers receiving customers in Lanyue Pavilion, and his heart was filled with fear and panic.

Because the guests' eyes were full of lust, they grabbed one of them and pulled her into the room, and she screamed heartbreakingly. After the guests left, he went to check and saw that the brother who could dance was covered in blood from the lower body.

He had a nightmare that day, dreaming that his fate would be worse than those of others.

His mother always told him with a smile that he would be able to help Lanyue Pavilion earn money soon. The meaning behind her words was self-evident.

He became even more scared.

He had to find a way out for himself. Although he had a lot of money, it was not enough to redeem himself. His mother would definitely not agree to let the fat sheep in her mouth slip away.

His mother often said that he was the ace of Lanyue Pavilion. She made him take a bath with agarwood every day, and after coming out of the bath, she rubbed his body with ointment made of high-quality pearl powder and poria powder. Everything from his hair to his toenails was finely polished.

As long as he can make money, he will not be free.

But he heard from the former top prostitute of Lanyue Pavilion that a young general in the army fell in love with her and was willing to spend a huge sum of money to redeem her so that they could live a good life together. So the silly guy actually believed it and gave away his virginity without telling his mother.

Finally, the young general went out to fight and there was no news of him. Many people comforted him, saying that the young general must have died outside and was unable to come.

This top star believed that if he really died outside, he could only die outside.

Ning Ruoyuan just sneered after hearing this, what a fool! The stupidest thing this top performer did was to give up her body before she was even free.

According to those who knew about it at the time, this top performer was tortured terribly by his mother, and in order to polish his remaining self-esteem, he was sold at a low price, and anyone could buy him for a night.

Ning Ruoyuan swore that he would not be so stupid, but this incident gave him an idea. His current situation was urgent, and judging from his mother's expression, she would probably let him receive guests without waiting until the New Year.

Serving one person is better than serving a group of people. Ning Ruoyuan firmly believes that with her beauty, she can trick the rich young man into redeeming her.

He currently has a few hooks in his hand and has caught a few rich guys, but none of them are to his liking.

Either he is rich but ugly, or he is handsome but a coward. The money in the family is managed by his wife and mother, so they have no say in redeeming him.

Ning Ruoyuan became more and more anxious. When he was upset, he was very impatient to stay in Lanyue Pavilion. His maid Xiao Cui asked him if he wanted to go out for a night to relax.

Ning Ruoyuan agreed, and that's how he met Xiaoyun in the inn.
