Chapter 74: Do you want to see what the Oiran looks like?
After Gui'er came back and said that everyone had left, Jiang Lan thought silently for a while and then took Gui'er away. She looked a little heavy, as if a huge stone was pressing on her heart.
When Jiang Lan came over, Jiang Shen was studying in the room. When she saw her, she started to think back on the words she had prepared and didn't know how to start the conversation.
If her elder brother knew what she did at Jiang Yao’s wedding, would he think she was like a demon, unreasonable, and would he have no good impression of her at all, and would he never like her as his younger sister again? . . . .
Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Jiang Shen said in a gentle tone: "What happened in the past is in the past."
Jiang Lan felt warm in her heart, but also a little surprised. Could it be that her elder brother knew everything? !
The next moment, a feeling of embarrassment came over her again, and she lowered her head awkwardly, like a child who had done something wrong.
Even though everyone had blamed her and laughed at her before, thinking that she was crazy to do such a rebellious thing.
But she never regretted it, and never felt that she had done anything wrong. Even if she killed a thousand enemies and lost eight hundred of her own, she would still avenge herself first. Otherwise, it would be too cowardly to live her life again.
If there is any shortcoming, it is that she is not patient enough.
If she had held back then, her reputation would definitely be better now. At most, she would be labeled as someone whose engagement was broken off. But when she thought about it carefully, it didn't seem to be much better. She had to swallow her nausea and sleep well. How could she eat well and sleep well? Her health must have been worse.
When you think about it this way, it is more worthwhile to seek revenge for a grievance. Although it may damage your reputation, at least you will feel better and your health will improve.
Even when facing her father Jiang Cheng, she was not afraid.
But the only thing she was afraid of was disappointing her elder brother.
She was afraid that her elder brother might have different opinions but not express them, and from then on there was a gap between the two of them.
"Brother, just scold me if you want to. Don't keep it in your heart." Jiang Lan was already prepared to be scolded. She would rather take a scolding than create any more grudges.
Jiang Shen was stunned when he heard her say this. He had never had such an idea at all.
"I won't scold you."
"Brother, go ahead and scold me."
“.…..”
Jiang Shen silently wondered if he had said or done something that caused a misunderstanding...
Jiang Lan silently thought that if she really got scolded later, she must hold back her tears...
Then, the room fell into an inexplicable silence, a silence that was a little strange...
"Brother, it was me who went to the Duke's Mansion before," Jiang Lan paused and clenched her hands. Rather than letting her brother hear about this from others in the future, she decided to confess first. "It was me..." She silently tried to calm her extremely nervous mood. Jiang Shen gently interrupted her next words, "It's all in the past."
Jiang Lan looked up and met Jiang Shen's kind and wise gaze, and immediately understood what he really meant.
It’s all in the past, look forward.
Her nose felt sore, and she smiled and nodded, "It's all over."
The brother and sister smiled at each other, no words needed.
…..
When she left, Jiang Lan felt as light as a butterfly fluttering in the air. The heavy stone weighing on her heart was finally lifted. As she walked, she suddenly stopped and remembered something:
She forgot to ask indirectly what her elder brother thought of Qi Wuhan.
Jiang Lan thought about it silently and felt that the problem should not be serious. Her eldest brother was not the kind of person who believed rumors easily. He would believe whatever people said. Once her eldest brother understood his true character, he would definitely not object.
After thinking about it, her mood became lighter. When she was about to take a step, she heard a crisp sound, like the sound of blowing leaves.
Jiang Lan turned around and saw a head popping out from behind the tree. The man was quietly waving for her to come over, holding a leaf in his hand.
She asked Gui'er to stay where she was and walked over.
"Sister Lan, can you dress up as a man?"
“.…..”
As soon as Jiang Lan came over, Xie Yun asked such a strange question, and she was a little confused...
"Sister Lan, do you want to see what the oiran looks like?"
“.…..”
Xie Yun grinned, and his slightly upturned phoenix eyes looked even more smiling, almost as if he had "bad intentions". Before Jiang Lan could give an answer, he made an appointment with her to go out tomorrow.
"Sister Lan, it's settled."
“.…..”
Looking at Xie Yun's back as he ran away with a smile and a wave, Jiang Lan felt "helpless" for the first time...she felt like she couldn't do anything to him.
On the way back, she kept thinking about the Oiran... What is it like to dance?
It is well known that Qi Wuhan spent a huge amount of money on a dance for the top courtesan in Wanhua Tower.
She was simply curious about how beautiful the courtesan's dance was.
Not jealous.
Ever since they talked about it in the medicine house last time, she knew that his romantic affairs were all done to appease the emperor.
He is a god of war respected by everyone. He has both military power and the hearts of the people. If he is criticized without any evidence, how can the emperor feel at ease?
…
The next morning, a carriage stopped near Wanhua Tower.
The curtain of the carriage was opened slightly, and a pair of clear eyes, filled with curiosity and nervousness, glanced forward at the largest brothel in the capital.
"What if someone finds out?" Jiang Lan lowered the curtain and was a little hesitant, but curiosity drove her to go in and find out who the rumored courtesan was.
"It's okay, no one will recognize you." Xie Yun grinned, lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, then waited outside without urging Jiang Lan.
After a while, she also pushed aside the carriage curtain and felt a little awkward when getting off. It was not because she was wearing men's clothes, after all, she had worn them before in Sangcheng, but because it was her first time to come to the brothel dressed as a man and she was not used to it.
"Don't worry, it fits well and no one will notice." Xie Yun patted his chest to assure her. Jiang Lan felt more at ease. She was afraid that she would look a little strange and people would realize that she was a girl.
As Jiang Lan and Xie Yun walked to the gate, they were surrounded by four or five girls.
"This young man is really handsome. Is this your first time here?"
It was the first time for the girls greeting guests at the door to see a young man with red lips and white teeth like Jiang Lan. He was also thin-skinned and his face was as red as a boiled crab, which made people want to tease him even more.
"Why are you so shy, young master? Look up and look at me~"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Lan was touched on the face. The next moment, she heard the other person say that her face was tender and smooth, more delicate than that of a girl, and other people also wanted to touch it.
She had never experienced such a scene before and she regretted coming in. She just wanted to find a quiet place to hide quickly. Xie Yun helped her to fend off the hands that reached out to her, took out a bag of silver from his arms and threw it to them to share, then took the opportunity to pull Jiang Lan in quickly.
