Although there was a little accident with Lin Long, the dance was finally completed.
Ru Qixiu had been on stage for so many years and had encountered countless situations. It was just a small matter of the piano sound being interrupted, and she reacted quickly to remedy it. Lin Long was also very accomplished in piano music. After a moment's pause, he managed to finish the piece with the remaining strings.
The effect was unexpectedly good. Even the impromptu remedial dance seemed like an unrepeatable flash of inspiration. Even Ruqixiu felt that even if she did it again, it would not be better than this.
But Ruqixiu still felt strange.
Lin Long is a very meticulous person, and is willing to spend a hundred times more time on things that she cares about.
The "Duyou" that the master gave her was her favorite. She rarely played it, but she cleaned and maintained it every day, so there shouldn't be such a problem, and the rest time afterwards was too long...
Ruqixiu's soft waist collapsed backwards. She had practiced this final ending posture millions of times and it became an instinct engraved in her body. She withdrew some of her mind from the emotion of dancing and pondered this abnormality.
At the same time, her upward posture also allowed her to see clearly the young man who was smiling at her in the elegant room on the second floor.
Without the obstruction of the curtain, she could see more clearly and distinctly than Lin Long.
picture……
No, it’s… it’s an adult?!
In a trance, I dreamed of returning to my hometown.
Like a brocade sleeve, it is not like Lin Long.
No matter how difficult the situation was for Lin Long, she was always supported by her old memories. When Ru Qixiu laughed at her ridiculous and unreasonable arrogance, she was not without envy.
Ruqixiu's life was dark from the beginning.
She was born out of an accident by a benefactor, and no one expected her. Her mother hated her, but had to give birth to her because of her health, and she didn't even know who her father was.
Ru Qixiu felt that she was lucky enough. Fortunately, she was born a girl and did not have to be drowned at birth. Fortunately, she was good-looking since she was young, which made the brothel owner willing to save her life in front of her mother who hated her.
His mother hated this flesh and blood who turned her from an oiran into a low-class prostitute. Ruqixiu was raised by the "mother" in the building.
...She was familiar with all the tricks in the brothel and was not ashamed of it.
Everyone has their own way of living in this world. She just lives by pleasing men. How is that inferior to others?
Ruqixiu didn't go out very often, but she knew that in this world, even having enough to eat was a luxury, so she didn't understand why those girls wanted to run away and why they wanted to run away.
Isn't it good to live in a building? You can eat well and wear warm clothes. If you meet a generous benefactor, you can even get silk, satin, delicacies from land and sea... whatever you want, you can have it.
But if you are unlucky and meet a bad guest...
It is better to see a doctor and get medicine in the building than to starve to death outside with no clothes to wear, and even have your body eaten by wild dogs or even your own kind.
…………
…
On the day of listing, she had actually been told who to throw the silk in her hand to.
——The young master of the Minister of Revenue, his father is in charge of the purse of the entire Dayan.
As for talent, appearance, weight, beauty or ugliness, what does it matter?
"Mom" doesn't care about these things, and Ruqixiu doesn't think it matters either. In her opinion, there is no difference between those people.
…
But that day, among all the familiar and uncomfortable gazes, she saw the only one that was different from the others. It was just pure admiration, like seeing a painting, a beautiful cup, a piece of jade...anything beautiful, without a trace of intimacy.
Ruqixiu has always known that she is beautiful.
Otherwise, "Mom" wouldn't protect her like the apple of her eye, hoping to sell her for a high price on the day she is put on the market.
But the flowers that bloom in the mud are stained with all the filth of the world.
Can she also be called... "beautiful"?
Under such innocent admiring gaze, she felt ashamed for the first time.
The gazes of the guests, who were almost accustomed to seeing them strip off their clothes, suddenly became unbearable.
By the time Qixiu came to her senses, the silk piled up like a flower in her hand had already been thrown over.
The Minister of Revenue, who was already prepared, stretched out his hand with satisfaction, but watched helplessly as the flower made of red silk flew past him.
Amid the whole room's laughter, the Shangshu's face turned red.
When he raised his head and looked towards the stage, his gaze was eerie and terrifying.
That look made Ruqixiu stagger back a step.
Then……
She saw the brothel owner's face turn cold.
She's finished.
Ru Qixiu thought so.
This won't end well for her.
She knew how the "disobedient" girls in the building were punished.
…
…………
Then……
The man who took the silk flower appeared.
The young man stood out from the crowd and walked slowly forward.
The whole room was silent. The Shangshu's son, whose face had originally flushed, suddenly turned pale. At the man's seemingly unintentional glance, his legs trembled and he fell backwards. If he hadn't been supported by someone on both sides, he would have fallen to the ground with his butt.
But at this time, no one looked at him.
Ru Qixiu was naturally the same. As soon as the young man appeared, he caught the attention of the whole audience.
Although it was a place of debauchery and revelry, he seemed to be strolling in a clear and elegant bamboo forest, untouched by all the filth of the world.
Watching the man approaching little by little, Ru Qixiu suddenly had a ridiculous idea.
——Is this... the god who came to save her?
…
But everything that happened later proved that her idea was not false.
If there were gods in this world, they would look like him.
However, this glance of favor was not just for her.
The gods descended to earth to save the world.
And she is just... one of the countless living beings...
Living in a brothel was not dignified, but Ruqixiu did not hate that experience, because it allowed her to survive in that world; there were always frivolous and intimate looks from the audience, but Ruqixiu did not hate being on stage...
How can it be "disgusting"?
That’s where she met “God”.
People joke that after watching a dance like yours, even an immortal would fall in love with the mortal world.
But Ruqixiu knew that there was no need to dance, because he had always loved everything in this world.
Even if the place is devastated and covered with thorns, he will use his bloody hands to carefully piece together the fragments...
That god is so gentle and merciful.
Therefore, Ruqixiu couldn't help but have some extravagant hopes.
She always thought that if she jumped down, she would keep jumping down...
Can I attract the attention of an immortal?
There is no need to be nostalgic or linger.
Just one more look, and one more look, and she would be...satisfied.
…
…………
And now...
Her dream seemed to have come true.
Everything in front of me seemed to be the same as yesterday.
The cloth was torn, and she used half of her sleeves as silk, and deftly tied them into a flower shape with her fingers. But at the last moment when she threw it high up, she suddenly lost her strength.
Ru Qixiu hesitated: If this was just an illusion or a dream, would her actions shatter this illusion?
But the silk flower in her hand had already come untied, the hastily tied silk scattered in the air, and the scarlet sleeves hung diagonally on the railing of the pavilion.
Chai Zhu is going crazy!
He no longer cared about etiquette and manners. Not screaming loudly was already the greatest restraint he could show. Therefore, when a girl came to report that "the Pavilion Master wants to invite you", he directly bypassed Chu Lu and agreed without hesitation with a "yes, yes, yes".
In fact, not pushing Chu Lu to the ground and snatching the half sleeve away was already his greatest accomplishment. Of course, a small part of the reason was that he couldn't snatch it away.
Chai Zhu didn't know what luck this kid had. Not only did he receive the water sleeves from everyone, but now he had Pavilion Master Lin, who rarely saw people, come to invite him personally...
Eh, Pavilion Master Lin? !
No, no? ! How did he become “Pavilion Master Lin” again? ! !
Chai Zhu finally couldn't help it, and with a force that seemed to break a person's wrist bone, he held Chu Lu's hand tightly, trying to make his eyes more sincere.
——Brothers? Brothers, right? ! Half-brothers!!
So... I can't leave any of my brothers behind in this kind of situation!!
However, no matter how sincere I tried, there was still some bitterness in my eyes.
If Chai Zhu had felt awkward for a while because of the girls' special treatment of Chu Lu when he first entered the room, then now he was trying his best to control himself from being jealous to the point of being deformed. The sour smell on his body could probably be clearly smelled from miles away.
Although it’s sour, I haven’t missed out on doing what I should do.
Chai Zhu shamelessly ignored the suggestive looks from the girl who led the way and pretended that Pavilion Master Lin had invited the two of them.
Fortunately, the girl probably wasn’t required to “bring only one person here”, and although she hinted at it a few times, Chai Zhu was determined to follow, so she didn’t say much.
This made Master Chai feel a little relieved.
But after walking a few steps, he realized, what is he worried about?! Even if Pavilion Master Lin only wants to invite one person, why can't he be the one?! He is also romantic, well-read, wealthy, and handsome...
Chai Zhu: ...
The further he walked in, the more the girls' frequent sidelong glances at him undermined his confidence. It was only a few steps from a little rooster with his head held high to a quail with its eyebrows lowered and eyes drooped.
Chai Zhu angrily accused these people of having no vision in his heart. It was just that their looks were slightly inferior, they had read a little less, and their temperament was a little different...
but!
He is rich! He is extremely rich!!
Which of this kid's food, clothing, and drinks didn't he spend? ! Even the money I spent on Chichun Pavilion today was still credited to his account.
——Without him, this pretty boy can't even get through the door!!
Chai Zhu was thinking about this, but suddenly he remembered that when this kid was penniless and had nothing, he relied on his mouth and brain to turn a bandit camp upside down.
Chai Zhu: “…”
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but wonder, would this kid really fall into a situation where he had no money to spend?
Thinking about the bandit guard who was so respectful in front of him that he was just short of calling him "Boss", Chai Zhu felt that even if he was not there, this guy would be able to find a bunch of "suckers" who would willingly give him the silver.
Chai·Has no self-awareness at all·The one who got taken advantage of·Zhu: It makes me even angrier just thinking about it!
