The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 29
[Chapter 29 Meeting an old friend by chance]
Although the woman’s appearance could not be clearly seen, her graceful figure could not be hidden.
The most indispensable thing in the capital is beautiful women.
On the day of the oiran convention, all the young ladies performing on stage in Yirenju were extremely beautiful.
But her body was more or less tainted with worldly aura, and compared to this woman, she lacked some temperament.
The charm exuding from this woman is completely natural, completely different from the aura of being in a brothel for a long time.
Fang Xiu always felt that he had seen her somewhere and had a sense of déjà vu, so he took a few more glances.
After looking around and confirming that the woman had left, Fang Xiu lost interest and raised his head to focus on the night sky.
A full moon passed through the clouds, like a bright lamp, hanging high in the sky.
In traditional culture, the moon is always associated with hometown.
Although he was an orphan in his previous life, it was where he lived most of his life.
Born in Sisi, raised in Sisi, many things are engraved in the blood and cannot be dissipated with the passage of time.
Fang Xiu looked at the bright full moon with a touch of sadness in his heart.
After all, I can’t go back to that land.
“Master, are you looking for a slave?”
A woman’s voice came from my ears, soft and waxy, and extremely pleasant to the ears.
Fang Xiu looked up in surprise. The masked woman who was under the willow tree came to him at some point. She had a pair of bright eyes, as bright and clear as stars.
Fang Xiu looked at her and said, “No.” “
I just heard from you.”
The woman’s voice stopped suddenly, and what she originally wanted to say was stuck in her throat.
After a while, the woman spoke again: “Master Fang, don’t you remember the slave family?”
Fang Xiu looked at her and felt more and more that he had seen the woman in front of him somewhere.
But he had only been in this world for a short time. Except for a short stay in Yirenju on the day of the Oiran Convention, he had almost no contact with people outside, let alone women outside.
But this familiar feeling is real.
Suddenly, a bright light flashed in Fang Xiu’s mind, and a possibility suddenly occurred to him.
Could it be that she knew the previous owner of this body?
Looking at this woman with a resentful look,
could it be that the girl who slept with him before didn’t pay her?
The more Fang Xiu thought about it, the more likely he felt that this was a possibility. He couldn’t help but feel guilty, and said, “I suffered from a brain disease a few days ago. I can’t remember many things clearly. If I have offended the girl in the past, please ask the girl Forgive me.”
The woman looked at Fang Xiu and saw that he had a serious look on his face, which didn’t look like he was faking it.
He sighed and said: “That day by the lake, the slave family accidentally fell into the water. It was the young master who rescued the slave family from the lake. Can the young master not remember it?”
By the lake?
Fang Xiu seemed to have thought of something. He looked up at the woman and said in surprise, “Are you Miss Wanqing?”
A smile appeared on the woman’s face and she said, “It’s good that the master has not forgotten the slave family.”
Fang Xiu looked at her.
I finally understood where that inexplicable feeling of familiarity came from.
At the oiran convention that day, Miss Wanqing had performed on the stage and played a piece of music. At that time, her face was covered with this light gauze.
The south of the capital is the most prosperous place besides the imperial palace.
Many shops and restaurants are built here, and there is a huge flow of people.
Today is the Lantern Festival again, and there is an endless stream of tourists coming and going. The level of crowding is comparable to tourist attractions on holidays in previous lives.
In the vast sea of people, the two of them met here, which can no longer be explained by the word ‘coincidence’.
Whether it was a true coincidence or she was approaching him intentionally, Fang Xiu was not interested in her.
Although she has a graceful figure and temperament, Fang Xiu is no longer the same Fang Xiu as before.
With his current resistance to beautiful women, although he could not completely ignore her, he would not be easily charmed by her. He
thought for a moment and said: “We said goodbye that day. I didn’t expect that we would meet again one day. What a coincidence. What’s wrong with Miss Wanqing?”
The first sentence was still greetings, but the second sentence was very straightforward and asked “What’s the matter?” Fang Xiu’s words made a big turn.
Lin Wanqing didn’t react for a moment, she was stunned, and said with a hint of resentment: “They all said that Mr. Fang was infatuated with the slave family, and even sold his ancestral home to redeem his life for the slave family. When we saw him today, it seemed that was not the case.”
Fang Xiu smiled. Laughing, she asked: “Who did you listen to?”
Lin Wanqing looked at him, still with a smile on her face, and said: “The sisters of the Nu family said that, so the Nu family believed it to be true. Now it seems that the Nu family is just being sentimental. “Ahem
.
“
Fang Xiu smiled awkwardly and said, “This kind of thing is human nature. Don’t blame yourself too much.”
“What do you mean by this, sir?”
Lin Wanqing looked at him, her chest slightly twitching. Ups and downs, I finally couldn’t control my emotions.
“Master, what you said is right, you are so sentimental!”
Xiu’er walked over from the rouge shop, glanced at Lin Wanqing’s slightly exposed collarbone, and pursed her lips.
“Who is this girl?”
Lin Wanqing looked at Xiu’er with a pair of eyes, and the smile spread on her face.
Xiu’er looked at her and said, “I am the young master’s personal maid.”
Lin Wanqing bowed slightly, made a feminine salute, and said, “Lin Wanqing, my servant, I haven’t asked the girl for her name yet.”
Xiu’er heard the name Lin Wanqing. At that time, I always felt a little familiar. I was slightly startled and replied: “My name is Xiu’er.”
Lin Wanqing smiled and said: “Miss Xiu’er is handsome, lively and cute. Mr. Fang is really lucky to have you by his side. Here.”
Lin Wanqing’s attitude did not change because of her explosive words before.
Xiu’er’s impression of her also changed from ‘a vixen who seduced the young master’ to ‘a not too bad vixen’. She stood obediently behind Fang Xiu and stopped talking.
Xiu’er is still young and has a simple heart. Naturally, she is no match for Miss Wanqing, who has lived in a dusty place for a long time and is firmly in the top spot. She can defeat her in just a few words.
Fang Xiu sighed, looked at Xiu’er, and asked: “Where did Miss Zhao go?”
A trace of panic flashed across Xiu’er’s face, and she subconsciously glanced at the willow tree next to the rouge shop, hesitated, and said: ” Miss Zhao is still at the rouge shop, Xiu’er went to find the young master first.”
Fang Xiu and Lin Wanqing looked in the direction where Xiu’er was looking at the same time.
Through the lanterns on the willow treetops, a figure can be vaguely seen.
Lin Wanqing had a thoughtful look on her face and said, “Since it’s my own fault, I will stop bothering you. Mr. Fang, we’ll see you again by chance.”
After she finished speaking, she bowed slightly and walked towards Fang Xiu. Li, turned around and left.
After a while, he disappeared in the dim light.
