Before Miss Li Sisi could say anything, the maid beside her said unhappily, "Young Master, you are so rude! My young lady is the most beautiful girl in the capital, how can you just meet her whenever you want! If you hadn't given her a glass mirror, my young lady would never make an exception! Unless your talent can surpass my young lady's." She said with a look of disdain.
Zhao Xiaofei got angry when he heard this. He thought, "Hey! I spent money and can't even see him. Is there any law here? It's just poetry! I'll write you a poem later."
"Xiaohong! Don't be so rude! Young Master Zhao isn't from the Ming Dynasty, so naturally he doesn't understand our customs," Li Sisi scolded. She then stood up, bowed deeply to Zhao Xiaofei, and said, "Young Master, I'm so polite! I was so rude just now and offended you. I hope you will forgive me for that!"
Zhao Xiaofei thought to himself: Hmm! This girl has a really nice voice! I wonder if she lives up to her name? So he said, "It's okay, it's okay! Actually, I wanted to come here, not only to see the girl, but also because this building is so well built, I want to see what it looks like."
"Oh! Young Master, you are so interesting! This is the first time I've heard that someone coming here wants to see this building! I wonder what's so different about this building in your eyes?" Li Sisi asked.
"Yes! If a woman lives here, she will definitely bring good luck to her husband in the future. And if a man lives here, he will definitely be extremely rich in the future!" Zhao Xiaofei lied.
"What's the basis?" Li Sisi asked.
"My family has a book of sixteen-character Yin-Yang Feng Shui secrets left over from the Song Dynasty. It can tell you exactly what a house is going to look like." Zhao Xiaofei then started talking nonsense about something from Ghost Blows Out the Light, which made the two girls nod their heads frequently.
After Zhao Xiaofei finished speaking, Li Sisi sighed and said, "I believe what you say, sir, but I am a womanizer. How can I have a good ending in the future?"
Hearing this, Zhao Xiaofei thought to himself: I forgot! In this era, if a woman worked in a brothel, no one would marry her as a wife, let alone the saying of "lucky husband". So Zhao Xiaofei thought of a poem by Cao Xueqin and said: "Flowers fall and fly, filling the sky, who will pity the broken red silk?"
As soon as Zhao Xiaofei finished speaking, Li Sisi exclaimed, "Young Master, you have great literary talent! I wonder why you didn't do the same as others and use literature to make friends to get us to meet, but instead used treasures as bait and let Mom arrange it. Isn't that a disadvantage?"
Zhao Xiaofei thought to himself, I don't have time to write poetry with those young masters and scholars. I'm mainly here to see the house! This is a good place to travel through time. He didn't respond to Li Sisi's words, but said, "The girl must be someone with a story. I wonder if you can tell me about it."
"Other people come here to listen to music or exchange poems with my young lady, but this is the first time someone wants to hear my young lady talk about family matters. Mr. Zhao is really interesting," Xiaohong said with a smile. She could see that the previous sentence had touched her young lady.
Li Sisi gently took off her hat, revealing her true face. How can I describe it? It's a kind of classical beauty, a bit like the Queen of the Kingdom of Women in the 1986 version of Journey to the West. Unfortunately, she doesn't have the maturity of the Queen of the Kingdom of Women, but rather a bit of childishness. Judging from Li Sisi's face, she should be no more than 17 years old. It's a pity that such a beautiful girl has to wear the makeup of this era. Some of the makeup on her face is about to peel off. There's no way this era can be compared with Zhao Xiaofei's era. With foundation, lipstick, and all kinds of cosmetics, even ugly women can be transformed into beauties.
But there is one good thing about this era. Beauty is what it is. There are no plastic surgery faces or makeup-free faces. Everything is natural.
"Listen to music? I don't understand many of the Ming Dynasty's songs, so I won't pretend to be cultured." Zhao Xiaofei said.
Li Sisi covered her mouth with her hands and smiled sweetly, saying, "Young Master, you are quite straightforward! Since you want to hear it, I will tell you slowly. I was originally the daughter of a businessman, but my father's business failed and he suddenly fell ill and passed away. My stepmother and I were left at home. Later, my stepmother sold most of our land and real estate without my knowledge and left. I heard that she went to Jiangnan with a man, and I was kicked out of my ancestral home. I have no property, but my stepmother taught me the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I have no other choice but to rely on my unassuming appearance to please talented people and make it to today."
"Is there no other family member I can rely on?" Zhao Xiaofei asked.
"Yes! I do have a second uncle at home, but he is a stubborn person. How can I go to him for help?" Li Sisi shed tears silently when she said this.
Zhao Xiaofei complained inwardly, "Why isn't there a scene where a good woman is forced into prostitution? There should be another villain, like his uncle forcing her to sell her body in a brothel. This would be a perfect story, just like a TV series."
"Happiness in this world is mostly the same, but misfortune is a thousand different things! I believe you will have a happy day! Aren't you bored staying in the building all the time? How about we take a walk in the courtyard downstairs?" Zhao Xiaofei said. He really wanted to see the terrain and wanted to buy this house in the future. He probably would have to ask someone to go to the Duke of Cheng's mansion to see if he could let him have the courtyard.
"Okay! Let's go downstairs and take a walk together!" Li Sisi didn't understand what the foreign prince was thinking. Perhaps she was a little insecure about her looks and talent. What was so good about the courtyard? It wasn't a Jiangnan courtyard with mountains and water. But she couldn't refuse this young man's courtesy, so she had to follow him downstairs.
When the pedestrians came downstairs, Zhao Xiaofei didn't pay much attention to Li Sisi. He just observed the courtyard. He silently calculated the position in his mind.
Seeing that Li Sisi didn't care about her, she felt a little disappointed and said, "Since Master Zhao likes this courtyard so much, I can give it to him!"
Zhao Xiaofei turned around and asked, "If you give me the courtyard, where will you live? This courtyard is not your home!"
Li Sisi smiled playfully and said, "Young Master, you don't know this, but this Misty Rain Tower has always been mine!"
