The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 445
[Chapter 445 Lin Wanqing]
Have we met?
The delicate girl was slightly startled, raised her eyes, and looked at the young man in front of her. She did feel that he looked familiar.
However, for a moment, he couldn’t remember which young master named Liu he knew.
She seemed to remember that the son of Wei Guogong’s family was named Liu, and she had met him several times at the banquet of His Highness Prince Ning.
Just not familiar with each other.
The lady doesn’t like to interact with people, especially men, and she rarely interacts with them.
Therefore, not many people have seen it.
The pretty girl looked at Fang Xiu and saw the faint smile on his face, and suddenly a light flashed in her mind.
A surprised expression appeared on her face, and she blurted out: “Are you Mr. Fang!?”
Fang Xiu was also a little surprised when he heard her call out his name.
He didn’t expect that after such a long time, the little maid next to Lin Wanqing would still remember him.
He looked at the pretty girl named Zhu’er, nodded, and admitted, “I didn’t expect Miss Zhu’er to still remember me.”
“Of course I do. At that time, my young lady was…”
A proud expression appeared on Zhu’er’s face. , spoke excitedly.
Halfway through, he seemed to think of something, but stopped.
When Fang Xiu saw this, he didn’t ask her what she wanted to say next. He just smiled and asked: “Long time no see, how is Miss Wanqing doing these days?”
Zhu’er’s expression became a little depressed when she heard this question. , replied: “No, compared with the days in Yirenju before, it is very bad that
even if you want to eat some pork meat, you don’t have money.”
The personality of Lin Wanqing’s little maid is very different from Xiu’er. In comparison, I feel much more lively, especially in front of people I know.
Her answer was also very straightforward, without any concealment.
“After the young lady left Yirenju, she found a house to live here. She only did embroidery every day. The money she earned could barely afford to rent the house.”
The little maid may have been holding these words in her heart for a long time. When I meet someone I know, I want to tell them all.
After Fang Xiu heard this, he was a little confused and asked, “Hasn’t Miss Wanqing been to Prince Ning’s Mansion?”
When the little maid heard this, she was even more confused than him and asked, “What are you doing at Prince Ning’s Mansion?”
She was stunned. He was startled, and then he seemed to remember something, and said suddenly: “I understand what you mean, Master. The reason why
the young lady was able to show up at His Highness Prince Ning’s banquet was because the young lady was still in Yirenju, and Yirenju was Ning’s. His Highness Wang supported it.
Now that the young lady has left Yi Renju, she is no longer involved with Prince Ning’s Mansion.
What’s more, His Highness Prince Ning
stopped at this point and said no more.
But what follows can be guessed even by guessing.
His Royal Highness Prince Ning is already too busy taking care of himself, so how can he find the time to sort out the waiter?
It’s just that
Fang Xiu didn’t expect it.
Prince Ning’s reputation for so many years was really destroyed in just one day.
Even a little maid, now everyone knows that Yi Renju is the property of Prince Ning, and knows that Prince Ning has already gone to the west.
Fang Xiu shook his head, and began to sympathize with Prince Ning in his heart.
If Yang Ming hadn’t been favored at the banquet at Ning Prince’s Mansion, he probably wouldn’t have ended up in such a disgraceful end.
Sure enough, the common people’s eyes were always sharp.
Fang Xiu was quite emotional when he thought of this. He took out a banknote from his arms and handed it to Zhu’er’s hand, saying: “Miss Zhu’er and I are old friends.” When
old friends meet, they usually drink wine and write poems, but I don’t think Miss Zhuer can drink. I will use the money to buy some pork meat for Miss Zhuer, which can be regarded as an expression of my friendship with old friends.
” Afterwards, he smiled at her, turned around and left, heading in the direction of Fang Mansion’s carriage.
“Mr. Fang, I can’t ask for your money!”
Zhuer looked at the banknote in her hand blankly, and for a moment, she didn’t even react.
When she reacted and wanted to catch up, she could only stand there and watch the carriage leave. The little maid
bought some pork meat to eat
and stood there. For some reason, the words Fang Xiu said when he handed the banknote to her hand rang in her ears again, and her pretty face turned a little red.
In the north of the city, deep in the streets, there is a house that is not that big.
A woman wearing a long black dress was sitting on a stone bench, embroidered with a small red flower.
This flower looks ordinary at first glance, but upon closer inspection, you find that it grows in a lake, and it has quite a bit of artistic conception.
A breeze blew by, and the ginkgo trees in the house dropped pieces of dead leaves, like thousands of butterflies dancing in the air.
The woman did not raise her eyes to admire the extremely beautiful scene.
She just lowered her head and concentrated on embroidering her own flowers.
Everything seemed so peaceful.
Whether it’s a person, a leaf or that embroidered flower.
At this time, a crisp voice came from outside the door, breaking the silence.
“Miss, miss, guess who I met today!”
Before he finished speaking, the person had already opened the courtyard door and walked in.
It was Zhu’er who had been pestered by some dandy boys on the street before.
Needless to say, the person sitting on the stone bench embroidering flowers was Lin Wanqing, once the number one courtesan in Yirenju and the number one oiran in the oiran convention.
At this moment, Lin Wanqing did not have the charm of the number one courtesan in the past.
The white long skirts and cyan long skirts that were most commonly worn in the past have turned into dark colors.
Although it lacks a bit of elegance, it makes people feel that it has another indescribable temperament.
Lin Wanqing was embroidering when she heard Zhu’er’s voice. She raised her eyes to look at her and said calmly: “I told you yesterday to keep your voice down when you come in so as not to disturb the children next door. Why did you forget
this again?”
Although the words were meant to teach a lesson, there was not too much blame. After hearing
this
, Pearl remembered that there was a child less than three years old living in the house next door. She stuck out her tongue and said, “Miss, I know this, and I will never forget it next time.”
The space in these houses is generally not very large, and there is not much space between them.
Therefore, neighbors can hear what is said here.
Pearl has lived here for three months, but she still hasn’t gotten used to it.
“The moment you and I leave Yirenju, there is no distinction between master and servant. We are just a pair of sisters with nowhere to go. Don’t call yourself slaves anymore.”
Lin Wanqing looked at Zhu’er with a faint smile on her face. He said slowly.
When Pearl heard this, she shook her head and said firmly: “Miss, please redeem me for this slave. I will be my maid for life!”
Upon seeing this, Lin Wanqing shook her head and wanted to say something else.
But the words came to my lips but I couldn’t say them out. After all, I just asked: “Who did you meet outside?”
