If it weren't for her wanting to save Xu Xi, which caused Young Master Wang to fall into such a situation, they would have to stay for a few more days to make plans. By doing this, she actually ruined his financial resources.
Thinking of this, Xu Miaomiao touched her nose awkwardly and walked outside.
She stared at the lotus-shaped hairpin in her hand and returned to the inn. At this time, Xu Xi had already gotten up and was ready to pack up.
Xu Miaomiao likes to keep everything simple, but Xu Xi brought gifts for everyone in the Song Mansion and marked them in order.
"Tomorrow we will go with Madam Peony and the others."
"OK."
When Xu Xi heard Xu Miaomiao's words, she nodded immediately. She had heard Madam Shaoyao's piano playing before, and it was extraordinary. If she could discuss this talent with Madam Shaoyao on the boat, she would surely gain something.
After packing up her things, Xu Miaomiao found two little boys to help transport them to the boat. However, she refused to give away the pipa that she had given to Xu Xi and insisted on carrying it herself as she walked over.
Xu Miaomiao really couldn't persuade her, so she could only let her temper prevail and walked away with her.
When they arrived at the dock, Xu Miaomiao saw Shaoyao holding a pipa and waving at her.
When they saw Xu Xi, the two of them were like close friends who knew each other well. They even wanted to take off the strings of Jiang Tang's zither so they could check it out together.
Compared to before arriving here, Xu Xi's temperament has indeed become much more cheerful. Xu Miaomiao also saw her current state with a cold eye. She used to be depressed and didn't know what to say when being bullied. Now she is much better.
"Ms. Xu, after hearing your piano skills that day, I lost to you without any hesitation. I was willing to do so."
Xu Xi smiled when he heard Shaoyao's words, and immediately said, "Madam Shaoyao, don't be so modest. My piano skills are just so-so, how can I bear such a great reputation."
Xu Miaomiao turned her head to look at the two of them, and was happy in her heart. After thinking for a while, she turned her head and saw the man on the shore. He was wearing an ink-colored robe, with a scraggly beard and messy hair. He no longer looked as handsome as he did before under the bright moon and breeze. Xu Miaomiao got off the boat without saying a word.
There was still half an hour before the boat left. Xu Miaomiao looked at the man and said, "Mr. Lu, I guess I didn't make my words to you clear enough in the brothel that day. Since Mr. Lu has decided to give up Xiaoxi, he should stop pestering her. Giving her a little hope and repeatedly extinguishing her sun is considered a delusion."
Lu Yun stared at the boat for a long time without saying a word. He held the strings in his hand and opened his thin lips slightly: "I just want to see her off."
"We are not related, so there is no need to trouble you, Mr. Lu, to see me off. After today's farewell, we will still be ordinary citizens of Bai County, and you will still be the most dazzling gentleman among the southern generals. Farewell."
Xu Miaomiao turned around and was about to leave, but she was staring at the man who was still standing there. Seeing him like this, Xu Miaomiao's anger rose up, and she looked at him and said, "Mr. Lu, why don't you leave? I thought a gentleman understood propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame. Are you still thinking of pestering me now?"
"I really just want to see her one more time. I will definitely leave once your ship leaves."
"you!"
Xu Miaomiao looked at the man angrily. Since yesterday, Xu Xi had never spoken to her about Lu Yun, but this man insisted on catching up with her today. She was really angry. If Xu Xi saw her again, she didn't know how sad she would be.
"Sister, let me talk to Mr. Lu."
Before she knew it, a voice sounded behind her. Xu Miaomiao looked back and saw that Xu Xi had already put down the pipa, got off the boat and came to the shore.
Seeing Xu Xi, Xu Miaomiao didn't know what to say. She could only look and leave, leaving space to the person in front of her.
Lu Yun looked at Xu Xi with red eyes, tears about to well up in his eyes: "Xiao Xi..."
Hearing Lu Yun's call, Xu Xi frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Lu, you and I are not related, you should call me Miss Xu."
Madam Xu...
Lu Yun listened to her for a long time without saying anything.
Xu Xi stood up straight, looked at the person in front of him and said, "Mr. Lu, I don't blame you for this. It's true that I have a terrible life and I don't deserve to marry into your family. Mrs. Lu is right. I am ordinary and I have done so many wrong things before. I am not worthy of Mr. Lu, who is so handsome. After today's separation, we will end our friendship and never see each other again, in the world or in the underworld."
After saying this, Xu Xi took out a hairpin from his sleeve and handed it to Lu Yun, but Lu Yun was reluctant to accept it.
"Xiao Xi, I really like you."
Xu Xi was not as happy as before. She smiled with a frank look on her face: "You like me, but you also mind the past. This is not love. You only like the young lady Xu who can play a good piano, not the Xu Xi who also has mean intentions. I really can't bear the love of Mr. Lu."
Holding the hairpin in both hands, seeing that the man opposite was reluctant to take it, Xu Xi simply put the thing on the ground, turned around and left.
Xu Xi took a deep breath and actually felt relieved. How could she talk about liking someone who couldn't even accept her past? Moreover, there was a huge gap in their social statuses. Even if the man had feelings for her and she was willing, they could not escape fate.
Although my past is shameful, from today on, even if I go to serve the Three Pure Ones, I will never be a concubine.
Seeing that Xu Xi had already come up, but the people on the shore were still waiting there, Xu Miaomiao shook her head, turned around and got on the boat.
Half an hour passed very quickly, at least for Lu Yun. Before he had time to remember Xu Xi's every smile, the boat had already sailed away. Perhaps they were destined to never meet again in this life...
Knowing that he could no longer see the boat, Lu Yun walked towards home in despair.
As soon as she entered the cabin, Xu Miaomiao saw several ladies sitting upright, as if they were waiting for her.
"Ladies, what's going on?"
As soon as I asked the tentative question, the person on the other side immediately took over and said, "Madam Xu, do you remember that when you came here before, you prescribed some medicine for us? We tried it according to your pharmacy for a while, and it really worked. Now I feel refreshed and even my period doesn't hurt, so I want you to help us check our pulse."
After hearing this, Xu Miaomiao sighed. Just now, when she was looking at the serious faces of these ladies, she thought something had happened. It turned out to be like this. She was scared at the time.
While they were taking the patient's pulse inside, Xu Xi and Shaoyao were playing the piano outside, which was very pleasant.
