At that time, when Xiao Cui'er saw the exquisite box, she had especially asked Lan Xiao who gave it to him. This time, he pulled Du Yueyao to the side of the window and pointed out to her.
"A manservant brought him in. However, his master has also come …" She pointed to a palanquin by the river, which was covered with a dark curtain. The bearers and servants were waiting at the side, but the people in the palanquin did not come out. But in the end, they looked like rich families.
In the entire brothel boat season, there were many rich young masters who came to the river bank. There were naturally many types of transportation as well. There were those who rode horses and those who sat in palanquins.
However, as long as they reached the river and there were a lot of people, they would come down. I can't just sit in the sedan all the time... However, the man who gave her the gift was already in the hands of the beauty, while she was still sitting in the sedan. She didn't have the slightest intention of showing herself …
Du Yueyao looked at the palanquin for a while, seeing that the owner did not seem to want to get down, she muttered in her heart, there was no meaning to it. Just as she was about to turn around and continue with her work, Xiao Cui'er spoke.
"Elder sister, I recognize that palanquin …" "Every day …"
"Oh." Du Yueyao replied indifferently. There were more people every day, so she naturally did not mind …
At this time, the person in the carriage seemed to have received some sort of reaction, as he lifted up the curtain of the carriage to take a look at the brothel boat …
It was a man around forty years old. When he looked at the brothel boat, he just so happened to meet Du Yueyao's gaze, and even he himself did not expect to meet Du Yueyao in such a coincidence. Even though they were separated by quite a distance, he could clearly feel that the beauty was not ordinary. He was instantly attracted by it. He just stood there, unable to shift her gaze away …
He was a man who liked to roam the brothels to begin with, so it was common for him to seek thrills. Recently, a lady with apricot flowers had come out, so he naturally wanted to know more about it.
However, the sea of people before him had still far surpassed his imagination. Wanting to meet the legendary Lady Apricot Flower was not an easy matter.
It was obvious that he had come, later than the others. However, the man's curiosity continued to increase. He would come to the riverbank every day. If he didn't see the boat, his heart would always feel empty as the boat's apricot flowers caught his attention. He did not expect that the small gift he had sent in today would actually be received. He felt somewhat happy, and just happened to lift up the curtain to meet the eyes of that woman with the apricot flowers.
As expected … She was so beautiful that it could not be said that she was an object from the mortal world. She was even more beautiful than Empress Zhang Mengyu by a few points. As for the few girls in his residence, they were naturally not on par with Du Yueyao.
For a moment, he finally understood why these people would come here day after day to wait for the Lady Apricot to come out. He also realized that it was naturally worth it for him to wait so long.
However, Du Yueyao was not the least bit interested in this kind of uncle. She was old enough to be her father … Since she was living in a brothel, what had she not seen in the world before? She had met someone who could be a grandfather before. But in the end, she still didn't like it. After clicking her tongue a few times, she left the window.
She didn't care about money or rights, she was just happy in her heart. He naturally had to be picky about the topic.
That man was old after all, but he still had a refined temperament to him. He had his reasons for sitting in the palanquin all this time.
Not long later, a letter was delivered to him, hoping to meet with Du Yueyao. It was the middle-aged man who brought the comb over.
Although Du Yueyao never planned to meet the man at all, she was still curious about him and took it and opened it, the handwriting was extremely neat and beautiful, and to be honest, this was the first time Du Yueyao had ever seen someone write a word like that, and it was signed by Zhao Zongming.
"Zhao Zongming? "I seem to have heard of this name before …" Du Yueyao pondered, he planned to take a hard look and pull this name out of his memories. He must have heard from a young master of some family.
"Isn't it just Lord Zhao …"
Just when she was unable to think of a difficult situation, Lan Xiao suddenly opened the door and entered.
"The prime minister of the imperial government, Prime Minister Zhao Lord Zhao …" She looked at Du Yueyao's blank expression, and could only snappily remind her.
Du Yueyao immediately responded with an "oh". She liked to see Lan Xiao's disappointed expression when he looked at her.
"So it's Lord Prime Minister …" No wonder he had to hide in the sedan like a turtle. If people were to recognize him at his age, it would be embarrassing for him to roam the brothel boat … "
Lan Xiao shook her head disapprovingly.
"This Prime Minister doesn't seem to care about his reputation. There are already five madams in his family, but they still linger around the court all day long." However, recently he seems to have been especially attentive to you. He has been coming here every day since the beginning of the brothel boat s. "The gifts you give are different every day. Before, you gave him many expensive things, but didn't bring up your interest. You threw them far away just by looking at them. Naturally, you don't remember him. I didn't think that you would see so many ordinary combs today …"
"There's nothing to see …" "The carving of the comb cannot be considered exquisite, but the wood is extremely good. I just feel that it's a pity …"
"Maybe he just wanted to use this kind of beauty that could not be restrained to attract your attention?" Lan Xiao joked.
"Then that can only prove that he failed again …"
Du Yueyao threw the comb and letter far away and laid back on her Imperial Noble Consort bed.
After listening to her talk about it for a while, Xiao Cui'er heaved a sigh of relief. When she saw the man in the palanquin, she knew that he was quite different from the other young men she had met in the past. Regardless of whether it was his temperament or his background, he was definitely special. After hearing what Lan Xiao said, she felt that the stakes were even higher.
The prime minister of the imperial court!
Although her little head had always been living in poverty, the biggest official she had ever interacted with was Master county magistrate. However, regarding Redbud City or the imperial government … Words such as these were sacred and sacred in her past life... Were those words that the Emperor could only spit out from his mouth?
How could a weak and poor person like her understand it so well? Not to mention understanding the meaning behind the words, even her father, who had never been to school and knew not a single word, wanted to quickly pull her down to his knees and kowtow when he heard these words. What sort of origin did he have to be able to say such a thing …?
She was not sure how many official positions there were between the county magistrate that a person like her feared and the Prime Minister that Lan Xiao had mentioned, but she was sure that there was definitely a huge gap in between, and that the old man that instantly made her feel a little afraid. He also heard Lan Xiao talk about that man already having five wives …
Although Phoenix Dynasty had always been about polygamous wives, people who had more money would also have more wives. However, when people talked about him, most of them were two or three wives. Unexpectedly, that man already had five wives … In the end, she didn't think that he was someone she loved … However, now that he had gained the title of the imperial government, he felt a bit too much pressure for a moment. I can't breathe.
When she thought of the people in the imperial court, she always thought of his honest father, who was a peasant. Her legs turned weak and she could still vaguely remember the way her father urged her to kowtow …
Elder sister shouldn't provoke such a person. Accompanying Jun Ruohuan was like accompanying a tiger, and moreover, it was a very influential official. However, it was different from the small fights that the rich young masters usually had.
Luckily, Du Yueyao did not seem to have any interest in that man. At last, she was spirited, and sat up from the Imperial Noble Consort bed.
"In that case, tell him that my body isn't feeling well, and he's still not seeing me. Let him leave quickly and peacefully …"
When Lan Xiao heard this, she hurriedly waved her hands.
"Aunt, please don't. You're in a bad mood …" If anyone found out that you were not feeling well, even the boys in the capital would have to bring you medicine …
Du Yueyao was still as indifferent as before: "Didn't you want to open a pharmacy? "I brought you medicine, what's wrong with that?"
"Though I thought of opening a drugstore. However, he wasn't in a hurry right now. This medicine has come, and you still have to leave it like this. I don't know when or how long it will take, but I'm still going to say that you're in a bad mood. "It would be more worthwhile to wait for those ingenious jewelry to be brought in to please you …"
"Aunt, I don't think much of you …"
Du Yueyao glanced at it, and acted like she was not going to cut at all.
"You don't think so. There are other girls …"
Lan Xiao dragged her last words as she walked down the stairs. She was becoming more and more like a qualified bawd …
As expected, when the news that Miss Du Yueyao was in a bad mood and did not want to see the guest spread out, all sorts of snacks and snacks were brought in and Du Yueyao laid on the Imperial Noble Consort bed. She fiddled with the small accessory in her hand and threw it aside when she felt unhappy. Her expression was also extremely satisfied, and she still had that lazy look she had in the morning.
But Xiao Cui'er couldn't say it, there seemed to be some changes to Du Yueyao's body, but she couldn't say it clearly, since the apricot flowers bloomed better in April, but it could still be considered to be at their peak during the apricot season, and after half a month, it would probably start to decline.
As long as she thought of these things, Xiao Cui'er would always feel especially sad in her heart.
Her little woman be tease when her heart be see through by a group of girls
"Xiao Cui'er understands now … "I know it's bad news …"
Lan Xiao then spouted out a few sounds, and placed her hands on her waist, "Pah! Pah!"
"Come on, you're just a normal child half a year old. What are you crying for …" "I don't walk the world by relying on sorrow and sorrow …"
Amidst everyone's playful laughter, Xiao Cui went to the pavilion. Du Yueyao did not sleep, but instead lit a candle and held it in her hand.
The silhouette of her figure was vaguely visible on the stairs in the attic, swaying and swaying, as if she was burdened with endless worries.
Her face was hidden under the candlelight. Although they had interacted with each other for a long time, facing each other daily, they couldn't live and eat without Xiao Cui'er's care. They were already so familiar with each other that they couldn't get more familiar with each other. But when he saw her, he couldn't help but feel amazement rise up from the bottom of his heart.
In her heart, she was still as charming and beautiful as a fairy.
She should be a god …
Xiao Cui'er walked in but didn't say anything. Then, Du Yueyao naturally stopped in her tracks as she saw her.
Xiao Cui'er raised her head and looked at that face carefully. Within her astonishment, she once again felt the endless grief that she had buried in the bottom of her heart. She didn't know why she felt this way …
Her family had been poor since she was a child, but she was naive and happy. The wild flowers on the mountain and the sweet potatoes she had found in the fields made her happy. Then Daddy got sick. He began to understand the hardships of the human world and made a lot of efforts. Every day, all he thought about was the nightmare of his father leaving and how to feed him and his father.
She had never led a good life.
And yet here she was doing exceptionally well...
