Huaiqin Prefecture.
In front of a courtyard in Liuye Lane, a young woman was standing at the door, with a maid serving her.
"Miss, do you want to knock on the door?" the maid asked softly.
The woman nodded as if she had made up her mind.
The maid walked forward and knocked on the door.
After a while, footsteps were heard and the woman became visibly nervous.
"Squeak..." The door opened. Baoshun stuck his head out and saw two girls standing in front of the door and a mule cart parked not far away.
"Excuse me, girls, who are you looking for?" Baoshun opened the door and stood at the door to ask.
The maid retreated to the woman's side, and the woman said, "Young man, can you let me into the yard to talk?"
Baoshun was puzzled. It would be inconvenient to enter the yard!
"I'm afraid it's inconvenient. There are no female relatives or maids in the family. I'm afraid it will damage the girl's reputation."
The woman's face froze behind her veil. It took a lot of courage for a woman to run to the man.
I thought that the boy in front of me should at least invite her in to sit down, instead of having her stand outside and be watched by others.
If this gets out, the Bai family's reputation will be ruined.
Her father will beat her to death.
"I, I'm here to see your young master. Please be flexible, brother. Some things are not suitable to be said outside."
Baoshun saw her embarrassment, but still smiled and shook his head: "I'm sorry, young lady, my master does not see outsiders, let alone meet with female guests alone."
"Please understand."
Hearing Bao Shun's almost heartless words, the woman trembled.
Without waiting for anyone to speak, Baoshun shouted, "Sorry, miss, we are also from other places and don't know the place you are asking about."
"Why not ask someone else?"
Seeing this, the woman closed her eyes, and the maid hurriedly bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, young man."
"You're welcome." Bao Shun said and closed the door.
The master and servant felt embarrassed to stay any longer, so they turned and walked towards the mule cart.
The woman from the left household was listening halfway through. Seeing them approaching, she quickly said, "Girls, where do you want to go? There's a scholar preparing for an imperial examination living in the next yard. They don't know the way, but I do."
As he spoke, he looked at what the maid was holding.
The maid looked at her own girl, not knowing what to do.
The girl whispered a few words to the maid and went to the mule cart first.
The maid then walked up to the old woman with a smile and asked, "Auntie, can you tell me how to get to Mao'er Hutong?"
As he spoke, he handed an oil-paper bag in his hand to the old woman. Smelling the aroma of meat, the old woman's face smiled like a chrysanthemum.
"Oh, so you're looking for Mao'er Hutong. It's on Zhuque Street, not far away. But you have a car, so let me tell you..."
The little girl listened patiently, and the old woman said, "Do you understand? If not, I will go with you and show you the way."
The little maid quickly waved her hand to reject her kindness: "No need, auntie, I understand. If it doesn't work, I can ask again when the time comes. Thank you!"
The enthusiasm in the old woman's eyes faded a little, and then she smiled and said, "What's there to thank me for? You even gave me such delicious meat. I can't thank you enough."
The maid nodded at her, then turned and trotted towards the mule cart.
The mule cart left here quickly, almost as if it was running away.
The old woman was still a little puzzled: "Why does he look so anxious?"
Then she looked at what was in her hand, and happily returned home to open it, and it was indeed meat.
In the next yard, Qiu Hanyan walked out of the house.
"Gone?"
Baoshun was sticking his butt out and looking outside.
Hearing Qiu Hanyan's voice, he quickly straightened up, turned around and replied, "Let's go."
Qiu Hanyan sighed. He had just seen the woman at the door yesterday, but he didn't expect her to come here today.
He really didn't want to get involved in this trouble.
He went out to a banquet yesterday and when he came back he wanted to take a walk by the nearby lake, where he met the white girl.
At first he was just wondering why a girl was sitting alone by the lake crying at night.
Qiu Hanyan remembered his sister's warning and ran away when he saw someone selling himself on the roadside to bury his mother (father).
Some people attempted suicide for no reason and escaped.
But when it really happens, how can we ignore it?
So when she was about to commit suicide, Qiu Hanyan still spoke out to stop her.
Qiu Hanyan didn't say anything, but just said: "If you are not afraid of death, what difficulties can't you overcome? Every difficulty can be overcome."
"It will get better. Also, my sister said that people who drown are very ugly. Their bodies will be soaked up and become very large. If no one finds you, you will be eaten by fish and shrimp, or your body will explode."
After hearing what Qiu Hanyan said, the woman was so scared that she retracted her foot.
She looked at Qiu Hanyan pitifully, and then heard the maid's call.
When I turned around again, Qiu Hanyan had already turned and left.
The woman ordered people to find out who Qiu Hanyan was. After learning that he was a student who came to the provincial capital to take the imperial examination, she became interested.
First, Qiu Hanyan was her savior.
Secondly, Qiu Hanyan had achieved great success and was a student preparing for an imperial examination.
Third, Qiu Hanyan is very handsome and basically meets the requirements of all women of marriageable age for a partner.
However, she never expected that this young man would not want to see her at all.
Bai Xinrui sat in the carriage, feeling more and more aggrieved the more she thought about it. She couldn't help but feel her eyes turned red and she started to cry.
"Girl, don't cry. Things will definitely turn around."
"At least the master hasn't agreed to the mistress's proposal yet, right?"
It would have been better if Bai Xinrui didn't hear this, but after hearing this, she cried even more sadly.
