It was very strange that Li Jingchen didn't tell her the news that the senior official Qin had a new love affair.And she herself seems to have gleaned some sporadic information from the deaf mother-in-law, and she was sad for a few days, and soon revealed that she wanted to leave.

The empress dowager judged from many details that this oiran lady was by no means a dispensable person beside the official of Qin. The innocent fallen oiran lady.

So, when she came to ask for her resignation, she seemed to have inadvertently asked, "Are you going back to the Qin officials?"

She seemed to tilt her head and think for a while, "Well——if he still wants me, I'll go back, if he doesn't want me, I'll go back to Konggulou to play music, and I can support myself."

Li Jingxuan felt a congested chest inexplicably.According to the past practice that the two never exchanged more than three sentences, this conversation would come to an abrupt end here, but today the Empress Dowager seems to be talking a little too much.

"Do you know that he already has a lover outside?"

"I know, anyway, I'm just one of them." She replied very calmly, as if she had already looked down on men's habit of liking the new and loathing the old.Li Jingchen frowned unconsciously,

"Are you willing to be one of them?"

"Otherwise what else?" She blinked and smiled, seeming to think her question was naive.

Li Jingyu hesitated for a while, his expression a little unnatural: "Perhaps I can..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the Huakui said firmly: "Little girls are born with low fortune and low fortune. They are not as blessed as His Highness. You can choose whatever you want. Besides, the official Qin is a very good person and treats me well. He bought that house for me. Although it looks a bit dilapidated, I like it very much. "

"So, you still like him?"

"I have to like him, otherwise there would be no meaning for my existence in this world, um—yes, that's it!"

She seems to like to say the four words "that's it", as if saying it means that everything is taken for granted.It's just that the meaning of her own existence is entrusted to another person lightly. Don't you think it's too hasty for her to say such a self-contradictory thing so easily?

Although Li Jingchen intends to help her jump out of the world, but the kindness in her nature makes her unwilling to force others to make things difficult, and she is even more unwilling to impose her will on others.Since she has no intention of jumping out of the fence, and only wants to linger with that Qin official, why should she meddle in her own business!

There is a peaceful smile on her face because she is relieved. In fact, when she is not serious, she always gives people the impression of being lukewarm, making people unconsciously want to get close.The oiran lady's eyes were shining, waiting for her decision.

"Alright then, there are carriages and horses in the palace, I'll ask someone to give you a ride."

When the two met again, it was at the mansion of Mr. Lu.As the empress dowager's food-raising hero, she naturally took part in the [-]th birthday organized by Mr. Lu.

Guests gathered at the banquet, and people from all walks of life in the officialdom and shopping malls exchanged wine and horses and exchanged rewards. The officials and officials on the road were proud of the big tree next to the East Palace, and they wished to announce it to the world. Almost all of them were invited by him.Of course, it also includes some competitors who have been popular in the mall.

It is a great joy in the life of Mr. Lu, who has been fighting in the mall all year round, for the enemy to look up at his current scenery, and then appreciate the panic in their eyes!

"Oh, isn't this our Third Master Du? You took time out of your busy schedule to attend my birthday banquet, and the small house suddenly flourished. When you celebrated your fiftieth birthday the year before last, you didn't care about your busy schedule. Post below, come on, I’ll make up for this birthday wine for you now! (Drink it up) Oops! This time I helped His Highness raise food, I really broke through all kinds of difficulties and obstacles, thanks to your boss’ generosity at the last moment It’s a big favor to my little brother! His Highness said that the Jiangnan grain business community will be supported by us in the future, and we will be our own people in the future. With a ration of someone from my road, there will be no shortage of you, Mr. Du Take one bite, come, and fill up Du Daguan again, let's do it!"

Li Jingchen sat silently on the main seat, he couldn't remember how many times he was used by Lu Daguan as capital to show off to others, and he instinctively felt disgusted and disgusted with his ostentatious drunkenness.And at this moment, a melody as vivid as a trickle of water rang in her ears, which particularly stirred her heartstrings, and pulled her out of this short-term discomfort.

When the group of toasting people dispersed, her eyes finally passed through the light and shadow courtyard unobstructed, and landed on the source of the sound, the woman who was concentrating on playing the piano in the middle of the dance floor.Immediately, there was an intriguing depth like a sea of ​​tranquility in his eyes.

She is still wearing a veil in an attempt to hide her alluring beauty, plucking the strings is like plucking her beloved flower branches, concentrating on it, acting as if no one else is there, as if hiding herself from the hustle and bustle.It's a pity that her reputation is too great, and she only mentioned her name a little, and got everyone's attention amidst the boos of all the guests in the hall.

The beating strings on her fingers seem to have a magical power to penetrate the intestines. Every time they are pressed to the extreme and then released, they can stir up endless aftertaste in the ears of the guests.At the end of the song, the audience was silent, and suddenly someone took the lead in shouting "OK", and there was a wave of applause from below.

"As expected of an oiran lady, Ren Meiqin is even more beautiful!"

"That's right, it's like an empty valley, and the lingering sound lingers!"

"I heard that she has been kept in the dark by those who protect her. Ordinary people would have to pay thousands of dollars to listen to her song. Now we are honored by the officials of Lu!"

Amidst the waves of applause, the protagonist Lu Daguan stood up with a happy face, clapped his hands louder than anyone else, and claimed this "merit" on the spot.

"Everyone, everyone, I would like to introduce to you. This is the newly hired luthier in the mansion, the lady Hua Qing who is the oiran of Konggulou. Not only is she good at the piano, but also the tea art is unparalleled. Someday everyone will be interested. Why don't you come to the mansion and drink a cup of tea made by the lady of the Huakui, it will be endless aftertaste!"

As soon as he finished speaking, many of his peers changed their colors. Who didn't know that Mrs. Hua Kui was the best friend of a senior official of Qin, and when did she become the guest of honor of his senior official?

Little did he know that through this round of grain raising, the senior official Lu had already established himself as the number one figure in the grain business circle in the south of the Yangtze River, so naturally he no longer paid attention to the senior official Qin who had lost power.To be able to snatch him away from that Qin who suppressed him all the year round is more satisfying than climbing the high branch of the empress dowager.

The smiles accumulated in the corners of the crown prince's eyes gradually dried up until they were stiff.Looking at the person in the field who was holding the long piano and drooping his eyes, could this be what she said to support herself by playing the piano?

"Did you see that once the officials of Qin lost their power, a certain person's tail was raised to the sky, thinking that if he got close to the empress dowager, he would be able to make a fortune, go dream! Look at his villain's success Just get angry!"

"Who said it wasn't! This time he was allowed to climb Gao Zhi'er with a rare commodity, so he might be so arrogant in the future! What do you think this Qin official thinks, leaving such a good business and not making it cheaper for others, but in the end he lost Madam broke up again!"

"Tch, madam? What kind of madam is she? She's just a snobbish eye. Seeing that the official Qin had lost his power, she suddenly hugged someone Lu, bah, what kind of lady is both talented and beautiful, and she's not a scumbag at heart! "

After the banquet, the Crown Princess' carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley, and Yun Zai almost burst into tears when she heard those unbearable insults. In her heart, Sister Hua Qing was definitely not such a person.So, she begged His Highness to wait here for Lady Hua Kui to come out, and wanted to ask her clearly, and say goodbye to her by the way.Otherwise, she will definitely not be able to sleep tonight.

After about half a cup of tea, Hua Qing got into the carriage from the door, walked to the entrance of the alley, and stopped in the middle of Yun Zhong's way.A cry of "Sister Hua" made the coachman take the reins, Hua Qing opened the curtain and asked in surprise, "Is it you?"

"Sister Huaqing, we are saying goodbye to you!" Yun Zai said with his face raised.

"Farewell?" Lady Huakui hesitated for a moment, as if she had thought of something, she said anxiously, "Wait a minute, Lao Yuan, pull over and let me down."

Hua Qing jumped out of the carriage, walked to Yun Zai's side, and glanced at the carriage in the alley, there was a faint light in the carriage, there should be someone inside.

"Are you leaving?" There was a bit of urgency in the voice.

"Well, His Highness's errands to raise food have been finished, so it's time for us to set off and return to Beijing!"

Hua Qing felt lonely for a while, "Then, when are you going to leave?"

"Leaving at noon tomorrow." Yun Zai's eyes pooled with lake water, and he choked up, "Sister Hua Qing, I won't see you in the future, you have to take care of yourself. We will miss you, don't forget It's us!"

"No." Hua Qing pressed the back of her hand to her nose, she never expected that the little girl would be so affectionate to her after only a few days together.He tilted his head and thought for a while: "That's good. If you want to leave, I don't have anything to send you off. How about I play a few ditties for you tonight? Let me see you off."

"Okay, okay, then you can go back to the palace with me, the tune you played today is so good that His Highness and we haven't heard enough!" She made a decision.

Hua Qing turned around and told the coachman: "Old Yuan, you go back first, tell the building that you don't have to wait for me tonight, hey, help me move the piano down!"

"Yes, girl."

Hua Qing carried the Changqin on her back, and got into the carriage in the alley with some anticipation.

Li Jingchen didn't expect to ask the little girl to say something and even bring the kidnapper back.To make matters worse, she wasn't angry at all, on the contrary, there was even a trace of inexplicable joy.

Hua Qing greeted cautiously: "I have met Your Highness", she replied with a polite and gentle smile, but she was faintly displeased with the rawness in her words, and she didn't think about why she was displeased.

Yun Zhong jumped onto the front of the car, raised the corners of his mouth in the same good mood, and drove the carriage towards the palace.

And in another alley not far away, a woman of medium height looked at the direction the carriage was leaving, and asked doubtfully, "Sun Butler, are you sure that's what the Qin official said?"

There was an uh-uh voice from the shadows, and the woman lowered her head and thought for a while, "Okay, I get it. Just let him rest assured."

Hearing the light and heavy steps gradually walk away, the woman suddenly called him again, and asked hesitantly: "Sun Butler, I want to ask, Brother Qin, do you know about Miss Huaqing...?"

The man in the shadow made another series of gestures to her.The woman's eyes flickered a few times, and she understood, "The officials of Qin will not let that person be mentioned again." She thought she would be happy, but for some reason, she sighed again.
