Chapter 489 Extra Chapter: The First Restaurant in Jiangnan (Part 3)
Three days later, just as Hua Yueniang's solo performance of playing the zither was about to begin, the lobby downstairs was already filled with well-known literati and scholars from the Jiangnan region.
But Hua Yueniang wasn't in a hurry at all; she was still giving instructions to her maid.
"If I see someone I like today, I mean, if I'm lucky enough to find someone I like."
After you invite the person up, remember to put this incense stick into the incense burner as soon as possible.
"This fragrance can relax people and soothe their emotions," said Hua Yueniang, holding a black box of incense sticks.
The maid nodded and accepted the black box.
Hua Yue Niang then handed a red box to the little maid.
"If it gets too late at night, I'll let that person stay overnight."
When you come in to serve me, just remember to light this incense.
This fragrance smells like ordinary flowers, but it actually contains a colorless and odorless medicine.
Men are easily aroused by its scent.
The woman smelled it, but it was completely useless!
"Remember! Order more if you're staying overnight," Hua Yueniang continued.
The maidservant carefully accepted it.
Sigh, every time the young lady shows her face, she has to give instructions, but they're never actually used.
Hopefully, God will open his eyes today and send down someone who will satisfy the young lady!
She really didn't want to drift around with her mistress anymore.
She wanted to go back to Wan Hua Lou, she missed the ladies there, and she missed the food cooked by the nannies...
Wan Hua Lou is home...
In the afternoon, Hua Yueniang appeared on time.
Magnificent clothes, exquisite jewelry, and a demeanor that seemed to have been rehearsed a thousand times.
With each step she took, it was as if she were gently kicking those people in the heart.
Her face was veiled, revealing only a pair of eyes as clear as autumn water.
Anyone who looks into those eyes will want to be captivated by them.
How could there be such a captivating woman in the world...?
After the song ended, Hua Yueniang slowly stood up.
Those listening to the music burst into enthusiastic applause.
Hua Yueniang, neither humble nor arrogant, gave a proper bow.
Damn it, another wasted effort...
It was the same group of people who followed him all the way from Nanjing to Guazhou.
Hua Yueniang even wondered if there were an entertainment industry in her Dayu, would these people be what everyone calls die-hard fans?
Wherever she went, they followed!
No matter the event, they always show up in the front row on time. That's what you call being a private follower...
Hua Yueniang slowly backed away, step by step, just as she was about to turn around and go upstairs to pack her things.
Let's try going north under a different identity...
A tall, upright figure came into her view.
This man is different from the other men.
Regardless of the season, even when it's snowing heavily outside, the other men would always carry a folding fan in their hands.
It's as if you're not a scholar if you don't carry a folding fan.
Furthermore, not only were they carrying folding fans, but their clothes were also dressed in the brightest and most vibrant colors possible...
Some people even use perfume on their bodies...
But that man...
Hua Yueniang felt her heart pounding even faster after just one glance.
This man did not wear a long gown like other scholars.
She was dressed entirely in black, with a black jade ring tied on her head.
He was very tall, and even from the way he crossed his arms, Hua Yue Niang Sheng could imagine how powerful he was beneath his clothes...
His features were handsome, his complexion healthy, and the smile playing at the corners of his mouth...
This person is different from those writers who are always chasing after themselves.
He's definitely not a scholar...
Hua Yueniang could sense that the man's gaze towards her held a mixture of amazement and admiration.
After pausing for a moment, Hua Yueniang noticed that the man's eyes were following her.
Hua Yueniang slowly walked up the steps, and looked back once more when she reached the last step.
That one glance back was enough to set everyone on the edge of their seats.
In the past, the courtesan Qingyi wouldn't have been so patient, and wouldn't have even glanced at you twice.
Just from that one glance back, it was clear that there was someone Qingyi cared about among the group below!
Almost everyone stood up.
Meanwhile, the man Hua Yueniang had her eye on was unaware of the situation.
"Is everyone leaving?" the man asked a stranger next to him.
"Of course not! Everyone's waiting for Qingyi's maid to come out!" the man beside him said excitedly.
"What's her maid doing out here? Is she collecting money?" the man asked again.
The man beside him gave the man in black a disdainful look.
"Don't insult Miss Qingyi with those vulgar things. Miss Qingyi regards gold and silver as dirt."
She only seeks someone with whom she shares a deep connection.
Forget it, you're probably just here to watch the show, there's no point in arguing with you.
The man in black...
Why does it seem like it's his fault?
Does being a top courtesan mean you have to treat gold and silver like dirt?
If I don't collect more money, how will I be able to redeem myself in the future?
Also, what if you're old and past your prime and have no money to rely on?
"It's like the emperor is choosing his concubines!" the man in black muttered.
The man next to her was even more displeased.
"You really don't know how to talk! What do you mean by 'like the emperor choosing concubines'?!"
If Miss Qingyi really were to choose concubines every day, we would be overjoyed!
The current situation is that Miss Qingyi has no intention of entering the harem at all!
The man in black...
This is even more grand than the emperor's...
