[Red Mansion] This world is a bit chaotic

As the "love story" between Shui Rong and Miss Shen spread more and more widely, this new round of Qinhuai Siyan's beauty pageant also kicked off, and Miss Shen's momentum was unmatched for a while. If there is no accident, this year's Qinhuai Siyan must have her a place.

Xi'er, the maid who served Miss Shen, couldn't help admiring her daughter. Who would have thought that just performing a show and saying a few specious words would not only secretly earn a lot of money, but also gain both fame and fortune?Sure enough, this beauty is not just a face.

Miss Shen leaned against the window and chuckled, full of complacency.She is already 20 years old this year. Although she is still young enough to draw water, the most indispensable thing in this land of Qinhuai is all kinds of beauties. She has won the title of "Four Beauties of Qinhuai" three times in a row. She said that there was nothing new about it, and this year's chances of winning were not high, how did she know that the pie fell from the sky, and she got this deal, which not only benefits but also creates momentum, why not do it?

However, she is a smart person, knowing that the other party did not choose her randomly. She was chosen over the other three because she was not only good at building momentum, but also her strict mouth.

Social butterflies like them who wander among men from all walks of life can get a lot of complicated and various news every day, and they most need to know what things must be kept secret.It's not that no one has gotten into trouble because of a loose mouth. Since she entered this industry, Miss Shen knows what to say and what not to say, and she must immediately forget what she hears and sees.

Like the person who came to her this time, she couldn't be found when she was thrown into the crowd because of her plain appearance. She didn't reveal the identity of the master behind the scenes at all, but she was generous in her actions and meticulous in her actions. Miss Shen is the best at observing words and expressions, so she can naturally guess. The identity of the person is definitely not simple.Therefore, she handled the whole matter very cautiously, and even the people around her didn't know the inside story, they only knew that she really had such an affair with Shui Rong, and only Xi'er, who was serving her personally, knew the inside story, and Xi'er had already been trained the most by her. The mouth is strict.

Now that things have happened, more than ten days have passed, and Shui Rong didn't come to trouble her. It must have been blocked by the people behind the scenes, or Shui Rong was afraid to move her because he was afraid of causing other conversations. It's even uglier to make trouble, but it doesn't end well.

That being said, doing such a thing is not without risk.If the person behind the scenes doesn't care about her, or Shui Rong doesn't care about the consequences and wants her to look good, she might not be able to bear it.

However, she is not a person who has no success in seeking wealth and wealth. No matter how you calculate this matter, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, so it is worth a try.

First of all, she also thought that Shui Rong was good-looking and noble, and it would be a good thing to have a spring breeze, so she proposed an invitation to Shui Rong, but she didn't want Shui Rong to refuse it, which swept her face.Secondly, romantic women like them are best at observing words and expressions, and they make friends with them on the water-soluble surface, but they look down on them at all in their bones.It's not even as good as the person who came to her to do business, even though he was trying to lure her, he didn't put on a condescending face of charity. Even if he was pretending, it was better than Shui Rong, who couldn't even pretend to be.Thirdly, the man asked her to do this, which promised her a lot of benefits.Fourthly, being able to gain the reputation of "being envied and proposed by the noble son of the capital" is of great help to her continuing to compete for the reputation of Qinhuai Siyan this year.Fifth, even the love of the son of the capital can be rejected for the sake of it, and she didn't climb up the pole, which shows how much she values ​​love, righteousness, and kindness.In the next period of time, as long as she sells miserably and pretends to be affectionate and weak, she can win the sympathy of many people, and she can relax for a long time.

Such a lucrative thing, even if it is dangerous, is worth taking the risk.

Now that I heard that Shui Rong is preparing to return to Beijing, the situation here is still calm, so it can be seen that the person behind the scenes has a good reputation and is not someone who crosses rivers and demolishes bridges.

Now I can concentrate on preparing for the talent that I will perform on the "Flower Moon Night" beauty pageant night of "Qinhuai Four Beauties".

Xi'er was also very happy to see that Miss Shen was in a good mood and ready to go to dance practice. The girl can gain both fame and fortune, so she will naturally get a lot of rewards.

Thinking of another interesting incident, he said with a smile to Miss Shen: "Girl, this young master of the Xue family came again today, saying that he wanted to watch the girl practice dancing, and promised that he would buy a hundred golden peonies with a lot of money on the day of the flower moon night." Vote for the girl."

Xi'er's attitude was very casual, as if she didn't care about the more than 100 gold peonies at all, and also seemed to have a disdain for the character of Xue Pan, the son of the Xue family.

The "Four Beauties of the Qinhuai River" beauty pageant is held every month on the night of Qixi Festival, also known as the "Moon Night of Flowers". On that day, girls who intend to compete for the title of "Four Beauties of the Qinhuai River" will show off their talents on a painting boat on the Qinhuai River. The golden peonies used for voting are made of pure gold, the size of a thumb, the cost is only 30 taels, but the selling price is 100 taels of silver.The sale of golden peonies is a lucrative business in itself. At that time, each girl will be given a certain amount of dividends according to the number of votes she gets, and the golden peonies voted for the girls are also the girls' own income.So even if this "famous flower" has a bad reputation, and is even ridiculed as a prostitute, woman, cheap, or maidservant, it will still make many girls flock to her, which is really touching.

More than 100 gold peonies, equivalent to 1 taels of silver, is naturally a large amount for ordinary people, but in the eyes of Miss Shen, she really doesn't take it very seriously.

What's more, Xue Pan, who became a buffoon in "Strange Records", his character of not tabooing meat and vegetables is really despicable.In the past, no matter how rotten he was on the inside, she would not push it out if she had money to earn, but now that Xue Pan has become a joke that everyone despises, how could she let him get close to her and make herself cheap joke?Even if these famous flowers only make money from men, they don't attract all the sweet and smelly ones.

What's more, Xue Pan was able to spend two to three hundred thousand taels on Huayueye in the past two years, but now he can only spend 30 taels to buy golden peonies. It can be seen that the rumors are true. It's a serious injury.

On the contrary, the third son of the Xue family took over the maritime business and made a fortune. The second son of Xue's third family had already said that he wanted to spend 50 taels to buy golden peony votes for his rival "Lady Lan". The face of the deputy nouveau riche, one can tell at a glance that he is trying to overshadow Xue Pan's previous limelight once he has gained power.

If he hadn't made a name for himself by finding a new path this time, he would definitely not be the opponent of Miss Lan.

And for a person like Xue Pan who has no character, talent, appearance, or money, Miss Shen just doesn't bother to pay attention now, so as not to lose her grade.What's more, Xue Pan suffered so much for the word "sex" and almost lost his life, but he still can't change eating shit, and he won't do anything in the future, and she is not afraid of offending him .

Ah bah, such a metaphor is not good. To say Xue Pan like this is not comparing himself to "shit"?this is not good.

Xue Pan's request to watch the beauties practice dance was mercilessly rejected. He was disappointed and annoyed for a moment, and his face turned livid.Thinking that Xue Pan used to be the richest and richest son in Jinling, who spent a lot of money. At that time, the "Four Beauties of the Qinhuai River" all regarded him as a guest of honor. hateful.

Just as he was thinking about it, the servants of the family came again and said to Xue Pan: "Master, the eldest girl ordered the younger one to come to you and say that there is something important to tell the uncle."

Xue Pan's face became more and more ugly, and he sneered, "What can she tell me? It's just asking me what I'm doing with the money. Now that she has her father's favor, she's become very powerful."

If it was Xue Baochai who worked so hard to rescue him from prison at the beginning, he was very grateful at first, and vowed to treat his only sister well.But ever since he returned to Jinling from Beijing, his father was recuperating at home with a serious illness, and his health was getting worse day by day. Apart from handing over the maritime business to Sanfang, he actually taught Xue Baochai how to do business, and handed over his family's property and The business was slowly handed over to Xue Baochai, and even rumors were released that he wanted to recruit a son-in-law.

As a result, Xue Pan not only lost his position as heir, but also had to obtain Xue Baochai's consent to spend the money.Thinking about how much silver he wanted to spend in the past, he could spend it however he wanted, and no one would say no to him even if he spent it for nothing.But now not only the money at his disposal has shrunk greatly, but also where the money is used and what it is used for, he knows Xue Baochai, and he will be reprimanded and taught by him from time to time. Gratitude is gone.

Coupled with the fact that the previous incident became "famous" because it was published in "Strange Records", after returning to Jinling, Mrs. Xue wanted to tell him about a marriage to accept his temper, but the few families who were optimistic about it all refused. Mrs. Xue couldn't be more angry, but she couldn't help it. She could only put the matter aside for the time being and wait for the wind to pass.

As a result, Xue Pan, who had nothing to do every day, gave up on himself and only went to the place of fireworks. Now that the money around him has decreased, even those flower girls will occasionally show perfunctory faces and call Xue Pan. Pan is even more angry and loses face.He asked Xue Baochai several times to ask for money, and quarreled with him, which made Master Xue more and more angry and completely abandoned him.

The servants heard Xue Pan's scolding, although they nodded and bowed their heads, they did not answer Xue Pan's words at all.To be honest, Xue Pan, as the only son of the eldest son of the Xue family, can still become what he is now, there is really no one else.

These days, although the status of girls is not as low as in the previous dynasty, except for those who have no sons, most people will still inherit the family business to their sons.As the only son of the eldest son of the Xue family, he actually let his father skip him, and chose to let his daughter recruit a son-in-law to inherit the family business, which shows how trash Xue Pan is.In today's Jinling City, Xue Pan is recognized as a waste snack.

It is this servant who looks down on him.Don't you see that although Xue Pan was jumping and cursing, he didn't dare to beat and scold the subordinates casually, for fear of accidentally beating him badly and going to the prison again.In the end, I had to obediently turn the car around and go home, annoyed but helpless.
