Chapter 186 Woman
Chapter 186 Woman
Yue Weiwei walked out of the palace gate.
At that moment, Li Hengtu captured her figure, especially the luxurious golden hairpin.
It must have been a gift from Concubine Rong!
He frowned slightly, but saw a middle-aged woman in coarse linen clothes and with a haggard face standing facing Yue Weiwei in the distance of the palace gate.
She seemed to appear suddenly!
Li Hengtu stood up slowly and walked to the curtain to the tune of Miss Lan Ling's guqin.
Yue Weiwei had already boarded the carriage, and Liu Bo drove forward slowly.
The woman turned and walked in the opposite direction.
Li Hengtu waved his right hand lightly, and Chaoyang, who was lying in ambush at the palace gate, could see it clearly. He noticed the middle-aged woman and followed her quietly.
Li Hengtu listened to the guqin and stared at Yue Weiwei's carriage with eager eyes.
"Mr. Li, what are you looking at?"
He turned his head to look at Lan Ling: "Young lady, you are an excellent zither player. The sound of the zither can be heard from the Jade Tower. I am curious if anyone is stopping to listen, so I am observing from here."
Lan Ling smiled sweetly, lowered her head and played the zither: "Mr. Li's way of praising women is very special and touching!"
Li Hengtu smiled politely and turned to look at the carriage.
"Miss Lan Ling, you are too kind. Many dignitaries in the imperial capital lined up just to see you. Many people who love the zither but have no chance to meet you will definitely go to the Jade Tower to listen to your music."
Lan Ling joked, "Did Master Li really see the person who stopped?"
"Miss Lan Ling, you think I'm joking! Let me help you count... There are at least ten handsome young men!"
Lan Ling smiled softly: "Talking to you, young master, is quite interesting!"
Just at this moment, a note lacked strength.
"Miss, play the piano well. I won't disturb you any more. I will just sit here and enjoy the breeze while listening to your music!"
Li Hengtu was chatting, but his eyes were always on the carriage.
After the carriage drove to the busy area, Yue Weiwei's head could be seen sticking out of the window from time to time, her golden hairpin swaying gracefully!
Li Hengtu laughed silently: Concubine Rong and that woman were too anxious, waiting at the palace gate to see the golden buyao! Little did they know that she would not sit quietly in the carriage. Along the way, she had many opportunities to see the golden buyao!
As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy. Concubine Rong was one step behind and was exposed!
Soon, before the carriage arrived at the Jade Tower, the wonderful music of the guqin had already attracted Yue Weiwei.
She leaned over to look up at the tall jade tower.
There was a figure on the top floor, standing behind the veil, and that person was also looking at her!
Li Hengtu was caught by those bright and wise eyes, his face blushed and his heart beat fast, but he had to look away reluctantly.
He took two steps back, turned his body sideways, and secretly looked at Yue Weiwei!
Yue Weiwei thought the figure was familiar and was trying to identify it carefully, but it disappeared and she could only see vague patterns on its shoulders.
"Miss, this guqin piece should have been played by Miss Lan Ling!"
Yue Weiwei leaned forward to take another look, then lowered her head and begged, "Madame Li, do you know Miss Lan Ling's story? I want to hear it!"
"A prostitute is not worth your attention, young lady!"
"Mammy, you are wrong. They have unique skills and sell their art instead of their bodies, which helps to promote culture."
Nanny Li stared at her in surprise and said, "Miss, what you said is true, but you can't tell others! Social ethics are the key to family harmony. These women were born in a world of wine and women, and they are no longer good girls who can live a peaceful life!"
Yue Weiwei was criticized again and stared at Nanny Li pitifully.
"I was wrong! You are right. The women in the Jade Tower cannot be compared with us. They are a minority in society. The vast majority of people are ordinary people who are hardworking and capable."
"Miss, you have a sharp mind and can judge right from wrong. Although those other things are not crooked, you should not follow them!"
In fact, Yue Weiwei really wanted to see the Yulou. These women all had their specialties. Apart from that, they were good at poetry, calligraphy, rites and music. I heard that they were good at composing lyrics and poems!
"Isn't the eldest son also going to the Jade Tower?"
Yue Weiwei leaned on the window, watching the jade tower getting closer and closer with great interest.
Nanny Li was speechless. She reached out and grabbed the curtain, gently nudging Yue Weiwei's head, "Miss, please go in and sit down. There are many young masters and nobles around this Jade Tower. It would be bad if outsiders saw us."
Yue Weiwei sat in the carriage sighing in frustration!
She took off her hairpin and held it in her palm.
Exquisite! Grand!
Her mood turned from worry to joy.
"Noble Concubine Rong is so generous. It's so heavy, it must be pure gold. I feel like I've become rich!"
Nanny Li heard the laughter in the carriage and quickly reminded, "Miss, please sit quietly for a while!"
This road leads straight to the cage in Taiwei Mansion!
Yue Weiwei held her hairpin and lifted a corner of the curtain: "Madame Li, after we pass the Jade Tower, I want to get off the carriage and walk on my own."
"Miss, how come you have so many strange ideas all day long?"
“Walking is exercise!”
Nanny Li looked at her with a deathly pale face and couldn't say a word!
