Chapter 34
Gu Xinyu looked at Cao Qian's departing back and thought to herself: This idiot is so useless, he was sent away with just a few words.
Luo Chaoyan looked at her and said, "Miss Gu, Master Cao almost lost his temper for her. I think he is deeply in love with Miss Gu."
"Ms. Gu, there are many better people in the world. It's hard to find a soulmate and a lover. I hope you can cherish the one in front of you." So stop coveting her husband.
Phew!
Su Qian couldn't help laughing. The arrogant Gu Xinyu is a good match for Cao Qian?
"You...what nonsense are you talking about!" Liang Qian said angrily, "Then Cao Qian is not worthy of Sister Gu!"
Su Qian smiled and said, "How can they not be a good match? Her father, Marquis Gu, was a second-rank military marquis, while Cao Qian's father was a first-rank military marquis, and his aunt is the current imperial concubine. If they are not a good match, then Miss Gu is going to be a match for the Jade Emperor?"
"you……"
Gu Xinyu looked at Luo Chaoyan coldly and said, "My marriage will be decided by my family elders, so you two don't need to worry about it." She looked at Liang Qianyi, "Let's go."
Su Qian made a face at the two people's departing backs.
Luo Chaoyan thought the girl was very cute and said with a smile, "Miss Su, thank you for helping me out just now."
"It's just a small favor. Besides, we are friends." Su Qian said with a smile.
"Madam, I have booked a private room on the second floor. Why don't we go up and sit there?"
Luo Chaoyan looked around and saw that people in the lobby were looking at them from time to time, so she nodded and agreed.
Going up to the private room on the second floor, Luo Chaoyan couldn't help but smack her lips as she looked at the various valuable furnishings and elegant layout in the room. She had to admit that there was a reason why this Xiangsulou was always full of guests.
There is a window in the private room facing the lobby of the building. Looking out of the window, you can clearly see the stage in the lobby on the first floor.
Luo Chaoyan thought of how Cao Qian was like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw Su Qian, so she asked, "Master Cao is a prominent figure, why does he seem to be afraid of you?"
"He's not afraid of me, he's afraid of my guards." Su Qian pointed at Jiang Chao who was guarding outside the door.
Luo Chaoyan thought of the guard she had just seen, the man gave off an aura that said "keep away from strangers". Especially the hideous scar on his face. If a child saw it, he would probably have nightmares at night.
"He is a martial arts expert. Because I saved him, he agreed to be my bodyguard for five years." Su Qian smiled and said, "I caught Cao Qian doing something bad on weekdays, so I asked Jiang Chao to beat him up. After a while, he got scared."
"Won't Cao Qian find a chance to take revenge?"
Su Qian said with some pride: "The guards under Cao Qian are not as good as Jiang Chao alone. He is a man of the underworld, often appearing and disappearing mysteriously. Cao Qian has no chance to cause trouble for him."
It has to be said that Luo Chaoyan was envious. She also wanted to try what it felt like to have a guard with superb martial arts skills.
"By the way, Madam, since we are friends, you can call me Xiaoqian."
Xiaoqian? Luo Chaoyan couldn't help but think of the heroine in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. She shuddered and said, "Haha... I'll just call you Sister Su."
Su Qian nodded and said, "Then I will call you Sister Luo."
Luo Chaoyan nodded.
At this time, the play "Fox Demon" began to be performed on the stage.
Su Qian watched with great interest, but Luo Chaoyan was not interested at all.
From time to time, cheers from the audience could be heard in Xiangsulou until the end of a play.
A man in white walked onto the stage, smiled and looked at everyone present, and said, "Dear guests, I am the owner of Xiangsulou. First of all, thank you all for coming to Xiangsulou."
"To express my gratitude to you all, I have the honor of finding Mr. Nanshan's new book, Tanhua." He asked someone to take down a couplet hanging upstairs and said with a smile, "Whoever can match this couplet today will receive Mr. Nanshan's book as a gift."
"Really?" someone asked excitedly.
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Of course it is true. I hope you will give me some advice on how to make the second line of the couplet."
So everyone rushed to look at the couplet. The first line read: The door welcomes the morning sun and wealth comes in abundance.
When they saw the couplet, everyone felt a little discouraged.
“This is so difficult!”
"yes!"
Everyone began to whisper.
Su Qian looked at Luo Chaoyan, "Sister Luo, can you do it?" She tapped her forehead again, "I forgot that Sister Luo, you are not good at writing either."
Luo Chaoyan nodded calmly and said, "Do you want that book?" In her opinion, Mr. Nanshan's writing style is good, but the plot is too ordinary. She has no interest in his book at all now.
Su Qian said: "Not really, I'm not that interested in books."
Luo Chaoyan expressed doubts.
Su Qian said, "I don't want Gu Xinyu to get it. Otherwise, she would be showing off in front of us. It's a pity that Shi Menglian is not here, otherwise I could compete with her."
"Speaking of which, isn't Miss Shi a relative of Miss Liang? Why doesn't she seem to be close to Miss Shi?"
Su Qian said, "Sister Luo, you don't know that Miss Shi's position in the Liang family is actually quite embarrassing."
Luo Chaoyan raised her eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean?"
Su Qian sighed and said, "Miss Shi's mother was a concubine of the Liang family's eldest wife. She married a fifth-rank official in Xuanzhou. She was also pitiful. When she was seven years old, her parents died of illness one after another, and she was taken back to the Liang family."
"I heard that Liang Qianyi doesn't like Miss Shi. But it's more of jealousy. After all, it would be strange for her to like such a talented and beautiful cousin who overshadows her."
Speaking of this, Su Qian thought of the rumors in Kyoto in the past and said, "Hehe... Sister Luo, do you know that everyone in Kyoto used to think that Miss Shi and Lord Huo were the best match?"
Luo Chaoyan was stunned, "Is there such a thing?" She had never heard of it.
"Yes, Lord Huo is aloof, and Miss Shi is also an icy beauty, and they are both talented and beautiful..." Su Qian felt that she was talking nonsense, which made Sister Luo sad.
Luo Chaoyan seemed to understand what she meant and smiled, "This only shows that what people think is a good match or should be is not necessarily the truth. The fact is that Lord Huo and I are destined to be together."
“Puff!”
"Sister Luo, you are right. You and Master Huo are destined to be together in your previous life. It is a bond that no one can break up in this life."
The two of them were talking and laughing, but Gu Xinyu had already thought of the second line.
She asked her maid to speak for her and shouted out the window to the shopkeeper standing on the stage, "Our girl has already thought of the second line."
"May the spring breeze bring good luck to you!"
"good!"
Everyone present applauded upon hearing this.
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "What a talented young lady." Then he asked someone to bring the book upstairs and deliver it to the person.
