This was the first time Zhuang Li had met the Lady Sun family. She did not expect the Lady Sun family to be so poor, and the lively Lady Sun family in the past was extremely exhausted. The Lady Sun's daughter was only eight years old and was younger than Qing You. Lady Sun was stupefied when she saw the bulging silver that Zhuang Li had grabbed from her bosom.
"Miss, where did you get so much money?"
Zhao Ci smiled sweetly, "Just accept them and deal with those debt collectors."
"I'm a lady after all, don't worry about me."
In the end, the Lady Sun even made her daughter, Chun Jing, kowtow to Zhuang Li and say that she was the benefactor who saved Zhuang Li's life.
Zhuang Li had no choice. Although she felt that getting someone older to kowtow to him seemed to be a waste of her lifespan, she also felt that Zhao Ci was after all, a unruly and unreasonable young miss.
Although it was simple, it was very fragrant. It was already very late when he returned to the Zhao Mansion.
However, she was very happy, and felt that she had done a good thing in this space and time with Zhuang Li's identity.
She slept soundly for a while.
Most of the time, she looked at all kinds of people who came to tell stories to the Young Master Baishi through the fence on the second floor.
Once, Zhuang Li secretly drank half a cup before falling into a deep slumber from morning until dusk.
Hong Feng laughed without saying a word.
"You were my first friend, too, Porcelain." He laughed softly, and suddenly took out a golden lotus flower bud from his sleeve to give to Zhuang Li. When Zhuang Li held it in her hand, she realized that this was an extremely lifelike artifact, and was about to bloom soon. In the next second, the golden flower bud bloomed with a "Pula la" in Zhuang Li's hands. She held the lotus in her hands, shocked speechless.
Young Master Baishi extended his hand out from behind the pearl curtain. His white clothes were embroidered with layers and layers of red peonies, the hand paused for a moment in the air, and then he used his finger and tapped on Zhuang Li's forehead, as though he wanted a piece of cinnabar.
Zhuang Li was stunned on the spot, and blurted out the question she had not intended to ask.
"Baishi, why are you always behind the bead curtain? Why are you wearing a mask? "
After saying that, Zhuang Li regretted it immediately. In the entire capital, no one had ever dared to ask about the secrets of the Brightmoon Restaurant and Young Master Baishi. Moreover, her relationship with Bai Shi could only be considered as meeting by chance. It was just like those sneering words that would cause her to die if she knew too much. She didn't plan on having such strong curiosity.
She was waiting for Baishi to fly into a rage, or to say that you still wanted to live well, so you shouldn't know too much.
As for Bai Shi, he retracted his hand. The bead curtain slightly swayed from the impact, and a gust of spring wind blew in from outside the window, blowing the fragrance of the rose into Zhuang Li's nose.
"Do you want to know? Little porcelain? "
She hurriedly laughed. "I didn't think too much about it."
"You have drawn enough at Brightmoon Restaurant. Tomorrow, when you come over to draw the last one, I can give you back that peach blossom hairpin, okay?"
" The last one? "Draw what?"
" "Give me a picture." As if he had once again seen through her thoughts, Bai Shi spoke unhurriedly.
" Little porcelain, my appearance has never been a secret, it's just that the world thinks it's a secret. I can guarantee that you aren't the first person to see me, and that everyone who has seen me is still alive and well. "
So I put on my mask and pretend I'm someone else, you understand?
Zhuang Li nodded her head as if she understood something. She relaxed and touched the spot on her forehead where the white stone had pointed. There was nothing there.
"Since Little White has reached adulthood, let's draw a crescent moon between our eyebrows."
" Why do you want to draw a Mystic Moon? "
" Because I think that Xuan Yue is pretty. "
" And then … "
" I'll sit on the boat and wait for you. "
" Do you drink? "
" "Mm, by then, you should be able to drink a few cups with me."
In these past two months, he had been entering and exiting the Brightmoon Restaurant everyday, so he was naturally extremely familiar with the surrounding shops. While chewing on the food that Hong Feng gave her, part of it was for her to make snacks on the way, while the other part was for Qing You who was at home.
" Boss Liu, business is booming … "
" Mother Zheng, your new silk clothes look really good. "
" I can earn more than 500 copper coins a month! "
" They all say that she's even uglier than me! "
" "Aiya, what a pity, you're a good beauty!"
" That's right, this Zhao Mansion really eats people and doesn't spit their bones! Not even a single piece of news has come out. "
" You haven't heard of it either? "
" He didn't know which room the Zhao Mansion was in, how could it be so grand! If the funeral was a good one, we would definitely know. "
" This Zhao Family is really vicious! "
" "Right, right, vicious!"
" "Make way, make way …"
