Chapter 676 - 0389 With comparison, it’s not so hard to accept.
The woman stared blankly at the woman approaching from afar, her heart racing as she found the drink unpalatable.
"Ni Zi, come here." She beckoned to the little girl at her side.
At this moment, a young girl about six or seven years old, with braids shaped like goat horns, ran out from the cabin and grabbed hold of her skirt, sweetly calling, "Sister."
"Mm." The woman pinched the little girl’s cheek, then pointed in the direction of Xu Chang’an: "That girl... who is she?"
"Eh?" The little girl looked over, then sweetly smiled: "Young Master Xu finally came, I’ll go tell Ms. Lu..."
"Come back here, don’t rush, answer my question first." The woman looked seriously at Xu Chang’an in the distance surrounded by crowds, at this moment, many girls had already gathered around, somewhat blocking her view.
The woman couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious.
As the previous courtesan of the Flower Moon Building, she couldn’t bring herself to squeeze forward like the other sisters, but it was rare to meet a girl who made her heart flutter...so she couldn’t see anyone else.
"Sister, today’s big boat... sways and sways, making me dizzy and my head feel not so bright." The little girl laughed, revealing a pair of cute tiger teeth.
"You naughty girl." The woman tapped the little girl’s head, then took out some broken silver and tossed it to her saying: "Are you still seasick now?"
"Not dizzy anymore, sister is really generous." The little girl giggled and accepted the silver taels, snuggling up to the woman’s waist in a coquettish manner.
The corner of the woman’s eye twitched: "Speak."
"Oh." The little girl blinked: "Sister, isn’t it strange, even though Miss Yun is wearing a veil, who else but Miss Yun would be by Young Master Xu’s side like this?"
"Miss Yun... so it’s really that Miss Yun." The woman murmured.
"..."
The little girl tilted her head: "Miss Yun has lived here with us for quite some time, haven’t you seen her, sister?"
"I just know there’s someone like her..." The woman blushed, then stared blankly at the pair on the deck surrounded by girls holding parasols.
Numerous floral umbrellas tightly clustered together, resembling a patch of brightly colored poisonous mushrooms.
"I didn’t expect... even without seeing her face, I..." The woman felt her heart pounding, with tears shimmering in her eyes.
"?"
The little girl’s gaze suddenly turned cautious, she shuffled a few steps back, reminding: "Ms. Zhu said... Master Xu and Miss Yun are a match made in heaven, what are you thinking about."
"Mind your own business." The woman spat, then closed her eyes, recalling that striking moment.
Miss Yun... truly beautiful, and her clothing style is exquisite.
Her long skirt was a dazzling cyan, with an orange-red embroidery at the chest; the wide embroidered clouds hem was further adorned with gold thread. Even though her face wasn’t visible, her every gesture was captivating.
Such a girl, if she entered the Flower Moon Building, there’d be no need for everyone to compete over becoming the courtesan.
Standing up, the woman picked up a nearby umbrella, and amidst the little girl’s stunned gaze, she too squeezed into the crowd.
The little girl: "..."
Eh.
Wasn’t sister the one who disliked noisy places? Why is she joining the commotion now?
---
Similar things were happening elsewhere, after all... not everyone knew Yun Qian, even those who had seen her before were now completely captivated.
After all, even the girls from Muyu Peak felt intensely moved, let alone the Flower Moon Building.
The fact proved that the girls at the Flower Moon Building were indeed attracted to beauty, and the reason they didn’t feel their hearts move before was simply that the temptation hadn’t crossed the line yet.
Those who liked men had always been paying attention to Xu Chang’an from earlier.
Those who liked women were now completely drawn in by Miss Yun.
For those who neither like nor dislike or like both, the meticulous girls also sensed a slight intimacy in the small actions between the two in front, which was utterly charming.
After seeing Xu Chang’an and Yun Qian, there was always something about them that could touch a person’s heart.
However,
For Xu Chang’an and Yun Qian... things weren’t as pleasant.
It was difficult to take a single step.
That’s roughly what it meant.
At this moment, even though it was still a rainy day, when he saw one girl after another holding umbrellas rushing out from the cabin and then surrounding him and Miss Yun like mushrooms, he was stunned for a while.
By the time he came back to his senses, he was already completely surrounded.
It was fortunate that this was the largest boat of the Flower Moon Building, not to mention its immense size, it also had arrays carved into it, otherwise, Xu Chang’an was thinking... with so many people, the boat might just capsize.
What to do now?
Although the girls wouldn’t charge forward, they had completely blocked the way, making it neither possible to advance nor retreat.
"..."
Unlike his helplessness, Yun Qian merely felt the crowd around her through the light gauze.
Although surrounded by many people, none crowded too closely, they still left her some space.
Yun Qian liked tranquility, didn’t like noise, she thought she should dislike such a scene?
But setting aside those staring at her... it seemed the others had a, sort of fondness for her husband.
Yun Qian always favored women with good taste.
---
At this moment, a sudden uproar drew everyone’s attention.
On the high platform of the banquet hall, Zhu Pingniang in a pitch-black long dress was reclining lazily on the banquet table, resembling a black pearl.
Miss Lu, listening to the lively sounds around her, spoke helplessly to Zhu Pingniang.
"Ms. Zhu, was this your doing?"
