Chapter 106 Gao's House
Early in the morning, Su Yan delivered the message to Liang Yi and then went back to clean the yard.
Liang Yi said that he was busy tomorrow and couldn't come to see her, so he would come the day after tomorrow. She should be careful in the next two days.
Fengtu was left for Su Yan to use. It is nearby. If anything happens, she can send a signal and Fengtu will come to help.
Liang Yi's arrangements in this regard were still very careful. It can be said that without Liang Yi's support, it would be difficult for Su Yan to accomplish these things alone.
While sweeping the yard, Su Yan was thinking about how to repay the little prince who loved to take the blame.
She wanted to repay him, but it seemed like the little prince had everything he needed?
With her abilities, she can only give the young prince a thorough test...呸呸呸呸.
In the afternoon, Su Yan and Qiu Shui went to learn dancing together.
Today, the maids all looked happy, and several of them had dressed up specially. Qiu Shui explained in a low voice, "Master Gao has a distinguished guest coming today, and he will ask a few maids to serve. They want to change their own situation, and this is a shortcut. Even if it is to take a concubine, it is better than marrying a poor commoner."
Su Yan shook his head, "Even if they want to take a concubine, they won't just choose us who have no power or influence just for our beauty."
Qiu Shui said disappointedly, "We can only be chosen by others? Even if the mountains are gone, the rivers are dry, the winter thunders, the summer rains and snows, and the heaven and earth merge, I will never break up with you. The loyal love between men and women is the most anticipated. Marrying casually... Why do you keep looking at me?"
Su Yan smiled good-naturedly, "You are so knowledgeable, I don't understand what you say. I have seen a scholar, and what you say is similar to him, it's so hard to understand."
Qiu Shui was slightly startled, lowered his head to stroke the hair beside his ear, and said softly: "I just happened to hear someone talk about it, I liked it very much, so I wrote it down. I don't really understand it either."
Su Yan nodded in agreement, "The words on the bamboo slips are too difficult to understand."
But my heart is very active——
Just pretending.
Pretending!
Qiu Shui was right next to her, so she had to control herself.
But it’s so hard not to think about this discovery that I can only change the words.
Su Yan pretended to be illiterate to get in. Qiu Shui acted harmless at first, claiming that he came from a poor family and had never been to school, but now it seems that is not the case.
Qiu Shui deliberately concealed the truth and hid in Gao’s house. What was his purpose?
Qiu Shui looked at Su Yan in confusion, "Did you hear any sound?"
Su Yan shrugged, "No."
Qiu Shui: “…”
So weird.
Today Yu Dong rehearsed a dance with a few people.
Chenyu changed into a new set of clothes and wore more gorgeous hair accessories than before. Huanyi was combing her long hair.
Su Yan was still wearing the clothes he had received when he first arrived at Gao's house, while everyone else had changed to varying degrees.
Chen Yu saw Su Yan still wearing old clothes, with her eyebrows raised. But before she could speak, Su Yan rushed to say, "I understand, I understand everything. Sister Chen Yu, don't say anything, live a few more episodes."
Don't get beaten every time you appear.
Chen Yu: "…What does this mean?"
Huanyi whispered, "I don't understand either, sister, let's ignore her. She's a weird person, and nothing good ever happens to her."
It was a hell of a night!
Except for Su Yan and the new arrivals, everyone was more active than usual.
Su Yan thought of Qiu Shui’s words.
Girls who are lucky will go to other palaces to help with work, and the money they earn in one night is more than what they earn in a year.
There will be a banquet in the mansion in two days, and we are short of staff, so someone will come today to pick two maids to help.
Su Yan naturally didn't believe such nonsense.
Considering what she had learned in the past few days, Su Yan thought that the maids here were probably just tools to please others, and those people were either rich or noble.
But there is one thing Su Yan can't understand. Why did Mr. Gao specifically buy this house in Beijing? Does such a thing need to be so secretive?
Su Yan did not see any unfamiliar faces during the day.
No one came until evening.
The maids, who were tired after a day's work, went to eat first and then returned to the yard to rest. Compared with the others who were exhausted, Chen Yu was still full of energy.
Qiu Shui whispered, "Everyone worked very hard today and is very tired. Chen Yu has been chosen several times before, and this time it will probably be her, so she is very happy."
Anyone would be happy to get a large sum of money at one time.
But Su Yan still had a question, "Why did Huanyi decide that she would become Master Gao's concubine?"
Qiu Shui said: "She has been selected several times, and Master Gao also praised her highly."
Su Yan asked: "Have you met Master Gao?"
Qiu Shui was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "Never seen it before."
"Have you seen Chenyu?"
"……have no idea."
Qiu Shui had been in the mansion for two months, but had never seen Master Gao show up.
The most powerful person she had ever met was Yu Dong.
Yu Dong is usually easy to talk to, but she is very strict with her mouth. No matter who asks her anything, she won't answer.
Su Yan thought that what Chen Yu had experienced should not be a bad thing, otherwise she would not be so full of expectations every time.
This kind of thing still makes her think that she can become the master's concubine. What kind of thing could this be?
Su Yan’s previous guess was correct. They gathered here not to be maids.
Su Yan felt annoyed while eating.
The dance should have been more graceful today! Those people must have secretly observed it!
She has to be charming to attract those men!
Wait, what is enchanting? How is it enchanting?
Su Yan, who had been single in both of his lives, fell silent.
Su Yan looked at Qiu Shui, "Why don't you try harder and be like Chen Yu?"
Qiu Shui said helplessly: "To be honest, I want to do that too. I don't want to go home and continue to live a hard life, but I'm not the one chosen every time."
Su Yan: "What will happen to the chosen person?"
"It's nothing. I'll just be busy for one night and be back the next day."
This is not right. Xue Yaoyu and Manrong disappeared directly and will not come back. Their situation is different from Chenyu's.
Which one is the most common and necessary one?
Then there is Qiu Shui. Previously she had talked to Su Yan about advocating loyal love, but now she says she wants to be the master's concubine. She really isn't telling the truth at all.
Su Yan continued to play dumb.
Chenyu and Huanyi's voices became louder and louder.
Huanyi deliberately flattered in front of everyone: "Sister Chenyu is still the best, her dancing is graceful and no one can match her. It was Sister Chenyu who went to help."
Chen Yu smiled and enjoyed everyone's admiring looks.
Su Yan shook his head slightly.
This person really won't survive more than two episodes. He doesn't know how to hold back at all.
Someone enviously said: "Sister Chenyu is so nice. She has never been kicked out. She can get a monthly salary every month and can even help out at the banquet. I have never even seen what a banquet looks like."
Su Yan took advantage of the chaos to ask, "Will there be many distinguished guests at the banquet?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Chen Yu's face.
Soon she calmly replied: "That's natural, they are people we don't usually see."
"Who are they?"
"…How would I know? They won't introduce me to anyone, they are all powerful anyway."
Qiu Shui asked curiously, "Isn't Mr. Gao a businessman? How come he knows so many powerful people?"
Chen Yu put down his chopsticks with a straight face, "Why don't you go ask the master? Why are you asking me?"
Qiu Shui didn't dare to say anything more.
Huanyi said: "Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with us. It must be Sister Chenyu who was chosen."
"Yes, Sister Chenyu is beautiful and a good dancer. How can we compare with Sister Chenyu?"
"Ah, if I could get a year's salary at once... well, with Sister Chenyu here, it won't be my turn."
Under the flattery of everyone, Chen Yu's expression became cheerful again.
Su Yan buried his head in eating.
Qiu Shui murmured, "I want to go too."
Of course Su Yan also wanted to go, but now she could only lament that her dancing talent was too poor and it was too risky to come directly to Gao's house.
Halfway through the meal, Yu Dong walked in.
Huanyi stood up first, "Aunt, Sister Chenyu is ready!"
Chen Yu looked over eagerly, and it seemed as if there were several butterflies flying in her heart.
She has stayed in Gao's house for many years and has no shortage of money. She has not left because she has higher expectations.
She could feel that the man liked her, and every time they met, they were more intimate than before.
Chen Yu hoped that he would take her to his house and make her his real master.
Yu Dong's gaze did not linger on Chen Yu and Huan Yi. She looked at Su Yan, "Mu Mu, come with me."
Su Yan had just finished a bowl of noodle soup.
Everyone looked at her.
Qiu Shui's eyes lit up, "Mumu! You were chosen! Your dance... you are so beautiful that you were chosen!"
Su Yan: “…”
Don't you want to comment on her dancing?
Su Yan reflected for a long time, wondering what he had done right to be noticed.
She didn't dress up, did a dance that could be called military boxing, and her singing was not pleasant.
How could she be chosen?
This nobleman has quite strange taste.
Chen Yu stood up anxiously, "Aunt, are you sure? It's Su, Su... the one with the last name Su? Not me?!"
"That's impossible," Huanyi said, "It was always Sister Chenyu's before!"
Yu Dong suppressed his smile and asked, "Are you questioning me?"
Her cold gaze frightened Chen Yu and Huan Yi. They both sat down at the same time and said, "We dare not."
Yu Dong looked at Su Yan and said, "Come on."
Su Yan followed Yu Dong.
She maintained her silly persona, looking forward to the upcoming wages. "Aunt, I heard from them that I can get a lot of money in one night. Can I go home after I get the money? My brother has no one to take care of him at home, and there are many places where he needs the money."
Yu Dong, who always smiled in the past, now had no expression on his face, with only coldness and indifference in his eyes. Su Yan noticed something was wrong, but now he could only pretend, "It's okay if I can't go home, auntie, can you help me pass the money to my brother? I don't have parents, and my brother is disabled. It wasn't easy for him to raise me. Every time I missed my mother, it was my brother who comforted me. I can't just stand by and do nothing about it, I..."
Yu Dong stopped suddenly.
Su Yan was startled and said helplessly: "Did I say something wrong? Aunt, don't be angry, I won't send money anymore."
Yu Dong raised his eyes and looked towards the sunset in the distance.
Although the house is large, the people inside are trapped within the high walls and can only see this small world.
Yu Dong turned around slowly and said, "If my daughter were still alive, she would be about your age."
Su Yan didn't dare to think too much and could only look at her in confusion.
Yu Dong smiled gently at Su Yan, "I'll help you deliver the money. Have a good rest when you go back. I've prepared some soothing medicine for you. Have a good sleep and everything will be fine."
At this moment, a guess suddenly popped up in Su Yan's mind -
Wrong, they were all wrong.
These are two different things.
