Quick Wear: I'm bound to the love strategy system
Chapter 160 The Noble Mad Duke * The Speculative Girl (18)
April did not return to her original residence.
I've been away for so long, and without a maid to clean up every day, there must be a lot of dust.
She didn't really want to see that kind of scene.
It’s like watching everything from the past gradually fade away.
April didn't have much gold coins on her, so naturally there was no chance for her to go shopping.
It was only when the carriage drove out of Golden Street that April heard the hawking.
April used to love playing, but she became less interested in it after her father passed away.
Perhaps it was the letter in her hand that brought April special joy.
April covered her face with a fan, leaving only her eyes exposed, and lifted a small corner of the curtain.
What caught her attention was a little girl wearing a red dress with long golden curly hair. The dress had been washed to the point of turning white.
His golden hair looked like dead grass, his face was yellowish, and only his eyes were bright.
The little girl noticed the way April was looking at her and immediately walked over with a smile on her face.
In her hands she held a large bunch of unopened water lilies.
Without waiting for April to ask any questions, she began to introduce herself actively.
"My noble lady, would you like to buy a flower? It only costs three copper coins.
Don’t think that these are just flower buds. Cut the flower stems into oblique pieces and then peel off the outermost green layer.
Then put it in a vase and it will bloom soon.”
April knew all the knowledge about flowers that she talked about, even in more detail, but April did not choose to interrupt her.
April saw that she had about a dozen sticks in her hand and spoke to her directly.
"I'll buy all your flowers for a silver coin, but I want your hair."
The little girl was stunned when she heard April's request. Her hair couldn't even be sold for 15 copper coins.
But this deal was so good that the little girl immediately cut her hair below her ears with a pair of scissors, as if she was afraid that April would no longer be willing to do this deal.
The coachman who drove her was also surprised by April's request. He didn't think the commoner girl's hair had any value.
But after all, it wasn't his money.
The groom took the flowers from the little girl, but he refused to touch the hair that the little girl was holding in her hand.
April looked at the groom with calm eyes, and her emotions could not be seen.
Under the anxious look of the little girl, April reached out from the window and took it.
After selling her goods, the little girl didn't dare ask April for her reward, but just looked at her eagerly.
April covered her face with the handkerchief and placed a silver coin in her palm.
no more, no less.
He whispered in her ear, "Little girl, don't tell anyone."
The carriage started moving again, and even the road became bumpy on the ordinary streets.
April took off the silk ribbon from her hair and tied up her long golden hair that looked like dead grass.
Her hair was loose, but the accessories in her hair made her look not disheveled, but added to her gentle beauty.
April didn't understand why she was doing this, but the little girl's eyes lingered in her mind.
She had thought she was miserable.
But after seeing the little girl she realized.
In this world, you either climb up or fall down.
An accident caused my father to fall from his position as a wealthy businessman.
My mother used the remaining money from my father and the help from my aunt to become a landlord.
If she had obeyed her mother's arrangements, she would have become the wife of a squire.
But if another accident happens, her daughter may become a pauper without any assets.
Just like that little girl.
Even a groom thought she was dirty.
But she was obviously very clean and not sloppy at all.
She had tried her best, but the upper class still despised her.
The fire burning in April's heart died out and turned into land.
She realized it with great calmness.
She must climb up and not let others look at her with disgust.
This time, April didn't feel sleepy at all even though she had been sitting in the carriage for such a long time.
She sat in the carriage holding the bunch of hair, looking like a noble lady.
With her mother's letter beside her, April planned to go back to her room to read it.
April walked into the castle holding a large bouquet of flowers, attracting many people's attention.
A maid stepped forward and offered to help April get it, but April smiled and refused her.
Avoiding the tedious greetings, April fled to her room.
After bringing the bouquet of flowers back to her room, April remembered that she didn't seem to have such a big vase.
So she could only look for the butler who always had a solution.
April walked towards Butler Huff's room, but met Strahl halfway.
Strahl was surrounded by several people whom April had never seen before. They looked like noble gentlemen.
April immediately tried to avoid it.
After that dance, April didn't dare to see Strahl anymore, not to mention that there were so many people around him.
But Strahl saw April before she escaped.
The moment her eyes met those of April, she knew that her wish to escape was shattered.
He was surrounded by a group of noble and handsome gentlemen, but his presence was so dazzling, as if everything around him became his foil.
Strahl didn't say much, but their conversation all revolved around Strahl.
Continue with whatever topic he wants to hear.
The scorching sun shone through the colorful stained glass windows, and the purple gem on Strahl's ring reflected a dazzling light.
It was the first time that April faced so many noble gentlemen, and she tried her best to be as cold and restrained as a hammer.
Being lively and cheerful is not a ladylike quality.
She took a deep breath, the smile on her face was shallow, distant and cold.
Strahl greeted her, and his smile was still so arrogant, as if the whole world deserved him.
"Good afternoon, Ms. Shara."
April lifted the hem of her skirt with one hand and saluted Strahl in a rigid and boring manner.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Blanchett."
After saying hello, April had no intention of talking to him any further, but left in a reserved and graceful manner.
Strahl didn't seem to care at all about her cold attitude. After all, a lady would not be enthusiastic towards a gentleman, right?
But the gentlemen around him expressed surprise at this situation.
"Bratchett, this is the first time I've ever seen a lady be so cold to you."
Another gentleman next to him said: "Blanche must have prayed to God the Father countless times that all ladies could have such a cold attitude towards him."
Strahl paid no attention to their words.
He could sense that April was not in a good mood.
I always feel low, like a puppy frightened by thunder.
Her hair was loose, but according to Strahl's impression, April liked to tie her hair up.
Strahl found it very humorous to see April pretending to be no different from other ladies.
