Qingyin, relying on her memory, arrived outside the matchmaker's room.
Just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard a woman's ambiguous voice and some strange noises from inside.
Qingyin froze.
After an unknown amount of time, the sounds of passion inside finally stopped. Qingyin heard rustling sounds coming from inside the room, as if someone was getting dressed.
With a creak, the door opened, and a middle-aged man with a slender build walked out. He strolled out slowly with a satisfied expression on his face, as if he had received the most luxurious enjoyment in the world.
He glanced lightly at Qingyin, who was slender and shrouded in shadow beside him, then looked away and left towards the end of the corridor.
After the people left, Qingyin heard a woman's soft, seductive voice coming from inside:
"Come in."
Qingyin pushed open the door, lowered her head, and went inside.
"Why can't you look at me? Or do you find this disgusting?"
The matchmaker's voice was not sharp at all, but Qingyin had no choice but to raise her head and respond to her.
The woman on the bed was only wearing a thin pink nightgown. She had probably just had sex, as she exuded a seductive charm. Her hair was messy but did not look ugly; instead, it gave her a kind of allure.
Qingyin looked at her intently.
"No, Madam is very beautiful, the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life."
The matchmaker was stunned.
How could a woman as experienced as her not see the seriousness in the girl's eyes? It was precisely because she was so serious that she was momentarily stunned.
The tone seemed to have become somewhat evasive.
"You certainly have a sweet tongue."
The matchmaker hastily changed the subject, "Alright, come over here and let me take a closer look."
Qingyin walked to her side, tilted her head back and pressed it against the woman's head. Hongniang could see the face more clearly now, and so could Qingyin.
The matchmaker wasn't exceptionally beautiful, but her thick eyebrows and narrow eyes gave her an aggressive look. Combined with her unique temperament, she possessed the aura of a top-tier beauty, like a decadent yet beautiful flower that captivated people.
Beneath the matchmaker, Qingyin could smell the strong scent of perfume emanating from her, somewhat like peach blossoms—not unpleasant, quite fragrant.
Qingyin appreciates beautiful women and women with strong personalities.
Matchmaker is that kind of woman. No wonder the original owner's personality and character gradually became closer to hers under her guidance, and he could never forget this woman.
Qingyin was lost in thought.
But aren't matchmakers the same?
Looking down at that pitifully thin face, Hongniang couldn't help but be captivated by those bright eyes, as if she were looking at a deep, unfathomable sea, dangerous yet alluring. The girl seemed to possess a unique and extremely attractive quality. Hongniang didn't know if she was bewitched by those eyes. She suddenly felt that if it had been the girl beneath her back then, her path to becoming the most beautiful courtesan wouldn't have been so arduous.
"Your eyes are very beautiful."
"Thank you, Madam."
The matchmaker waved her hand, as if she had transformed back into the aloof courtesan Qingyin had first met.
"From now on, you will be my personal maid."
"yes."
The matchmaker didn't give Qingyin a choice, but this time Qingyin and the original owner were different.
In her previous life, the matchmaker had told the original owner about the path she would choose in the future, but she didn't. Instead, she directly made her her personal maid.
Qingyin wasn't in a hurry. She was fundamentally different from the original owner of the body, and the matchmaker might not do the same thing to her as the original owner.
Over the next few days, Qingyin took good care of Hongniang.
Like a mind reader, Qingyin did what the matchmaker wanted before she even had to ask.
Throughout the day, the matchmaker was taken very good care of, and her complexion improved considerably.
As night fell, the matchmaker finally got a rare rest.
Qingyin brought her a basin of hot water, in which Qingyin had obtained medicinal herbs from the pharmacy. She let Hongniang put her feet in, and the dark medicinal ripples on her fair insteps were so comfortable that it made people sigh.
But the matchmaker's attention was drawn to the thin girl who was earnestly massaging her legs.
Why are you so good to me?
Qingyin didn't turn around. "The matchmaker saved me and gave me food and clothes."
"Really? It's that simple?"
"Um."
The matchmaker's eyes flickered as she said to Qingyin, "You're quite honest."
"Hey, little girl, would you like to hear a story from me?"
Qingyin looked at Hongniang with her dark, bright eyes. Hongniang smiled and said, "Fine, whether you want to hear it or not, I'm going to nag you about it."
“Your eyes are somewhat like mine back then, yet somewhat different; I can’t quite put my finger on it.”
"Back then, I was forced into working at the Red Mansion because of my family's poverty. Because of my unattractive appearance, I became a lowly maid. I was always hungry and cold, and I was very stubborn. I was always arguing with people and was often beaten by the pimps. Later, a poor scholar came to the Red Mansion and, seeing how pitiful I was, threw me half a cake."
Ah, that half-eaten piece of bread made my heart fall for that man.
At this point, the matchmaker's eyes changed, and her tone became sarcastic.
As Qingyin listened to the matchmaker recount her story, she fell in love with a poor but talented scholar. For the sake of that scholar, she began to earnestly try to please the girls in the brothel, and started earning money and receiving a share of the profits.
She did the hardest and most tiring work, and she was always hungry, but she gave all the money she had worked so hard to earn to that poor scholar who was going to the capital to take the imperial examination.
Before leaving, the matchmaker asked the man, "Will you regret falling in love with a courtesan?"
