Chapter 537 - 0320 Graceful Red Lotus (2-in-1)
In the warm room, the Rowing Maiden smiled brilliantly, watching Yun Qian viewing the scenery, her eyes revealing an unconcealed affection.
Ms. Yun always looked beautiful, no matter the form, standing gracefully and elegantly.
But when Yun Qian spoke, the maiden’s gaze froze, her eyes widened.
"Y- Yun Sister, what did you say?"
"Didn’t hear it clearly?" Yun Qian sighed lightly, thinking that like her husband, she had to repeat things understood.
Fortunately, Xu Chang’an was already on his way back, should she have them chat properly later?
Yun Qian turned around, repeating what she’d said.
"Have you eaten anything made by such things? What does it taste like?" Yun Qian was very curious: "Wondering what it tastes like?"
Rowing Maiden: "..."
Confirmed, she hadn’t misheard.
The maiden cautiously looked at Yun Qian: "Yun Sister, the thing you mentioned... you mean..."
"I’ve seen many things in books," Yun Qian recalled: "In books, there are villains who give women drugs that once ingested feel somewhat like drinking wine..."
Listening to Yun Qian’s words, the maiden’s face instantly flushed red.
She certainly understood Yun Qian’s meaning.
She wanted to say to the girl she liked that she didn’t know what she was talking about, but couldn’t lie.
Because she had read the sisters’ collection of books in the building, things like that, albeit addressing Female Knights and such, although seeing made her blush, she really read quite a bit.
The maiden covered her face: "Yun Sister, why are you asking about that suddenly."
"Have you eaten them?" Yun Qian asked.
"Eat... eat? No, I never ate it." The maiden screamed, then shook her head vigorously.
She wasn’t like those fallen women written in books, nor was she in any vicious brothel, why eat that stuff?
She glanced at Yun Qian, shivering slightly, as if she thought of some unpleasant scenes.
"That item is still quite common, right." Yun Qian looked at her astonished look, somewhat puzzled because according to her understanding, such things should be common both on Muyu Peak and in Beisang City.
"Common?" The Rowing Maiden heard this, shaking her hand adamantly: "Not common, Yun Sister, where did you..."
She blushed, wanted to explain but paused.
Hmm?
Seems like they are quite common actually?
Yun Qian’s initial explanation made her unintentionally think of those strong drugs in wild books that would make girls desperate, thus instinctively rejecting it.
But upon closer thought, she realized such things were quite common in Flower Moon Building, yet... not as terrible as described in books, merely small "snacks" or "rouge" for daily consumption, hence she hadn’t connected it with Yun Qian.
In Flower Moon Building women’s minds, they were completely different things.
"Why." Yun Qian saw her dazed, said: "There are, right."
"Yes, Sister... there are, but... they don’t count as such things anymore." Rowing Maiden took a deep breath, trying to suppress her shyness, whispered: "Now in Beisang City, Miss Zhu regulates if anyone brings strong items into the city, it breaks her rules, and only weakened versions exist for the ladies... to relax."
Saying this, she couldn’t help but feel hot.
"Relax?" Yun Qian thought: "Just like wine?"
"Close, close enough." The maiden nodded like a pecking chick.
It sounds strange, but in Flower Moon Building, eating those things is similar to drinking wine. Some ladies who dislike alcohol use small amounts of such things to make themselves blush and look prettier.
It’s really a normal thing.
The maiden didn’t know where Yun Qian heard the rumor that the girls in Flower Moon Building like eating those things, but she felt Yun Qian misunderstood, they eat normal "rouge", not the strange stuff described in books.
Got to clear up Yun Sister’s misunderstanding.
After all, she herself had eaten Red Lotus Rouge and didn’t want the Sister to think she was an indiscreet woman.
"Y- Yun Sister." The maiden summoned courage to explain: "Red Lotus Rouge is merely a refreshing item, no different from Mugwort. Used at tea parties by girls to lift the atmosphere, because after eating, they look beautiful... so sometimes on stage performances or if they look tired, they eat some."
No adverse reactions after consumption, just makes women more lively and beautiful.
"Different from what’s written in books?" Yun Qian tilted her head: "I read in books that consuming these things makes men like it more."
"Ugh..."
Listening to Yun Qian’s words, the maiden couldn’t help covering her face like Li Hua, lamenting: "Yun Sister, please, don’t, no more."
She’s a virginal girl, discussing such things with someone she liked... makes her want to find a place to hide and never come out.
"...?"
Seeing the maiden like a mushroom hiding herself, Yun Qian tilted her head.
Is it really a matter worth being shy about?
Strange, she clearly said it’s very common.
Yun Qian liked the woman in front and patiently explained: "I heard eating those things makes you look better so that he likes me more, that’s why I want to understand."
