Chapter 229 Jin Xuan
After that, he closed the door and asked me in a panic, "What should I do next? I heard from the passerby you asked that Miss Jinxuan comes out every day. Should I wait for her? What if they send a few girls over to me during this period?"
I teased him: "That's great! Why don't you just accept it?"
His face flushed, and he said anxiously: "You, you - ah!"
Seeing that he was a little annoyed, I stopped smiling and said seriously, "Okay, I won't joke with you anymore. It's not easy to find someone who is deliberately hidden in such a big Xiyan City. So I can only start with her. If she doesn't know, it's probably difficult for others."
Gui Fangduan's shyness gradually faded, and he turned serious. He asked me, "Who is she? She's not just a well-informed dancer, is she?"
I walked closer to him and lowered my voice to reply, "Do you know, Bluebird Si?"
Gui Fangduan's eyes widened and he asked in shock: "She...?! She is from the Blue Bird Division?"
I looked at him and nodded.
Gui Fangduan was indeed a top-notch killer with a good psychological quality. His surprise faded away in an instant, and he murmured, "The people from the Blue Bird Division are actually here..."
I added, "So I went straight to her, but I don't know how to approach her. Anyway, I'll be disguised as a man these few days and go down with you every day. You stay alert. If she comes out, we'll act accordingly and make sure to get in touch with her."
Gui Fang nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
I recalled that along the way into Xiyan City, people kept recognizing us as outsiders, so I ordered Guifang to go out and buy two black brocade robes. He came back and changed my clothes according to the men I saw here, and combed my hair into a Xiyan-style man's bun. I also asked him to change into the same clothes and combed his hair into a bun as well.
He stood still and let me do what I wanted with his hair. When I finished combing his hair, he asked me to look at his hair in the bronze mirror. He smiled and said, "Your hairstyling skills are really good! Now we are no different from the local Xiyan men!"
I also bent down to take a look at myself, and said to him in the mirror: "When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Try to blend in. I'm sure you know more about this than I do."
He looked into my eyes in the mirror, lowered his head and said "hmm" softly.
I was still a little weak and tired, so I went back to my room to rest and told him to remember to call me when he went downstairs for dinner in the evening.
I haven't slept on such a soft bed for a long time. I took a nap in a daze until I heard a knock on the door.
"Lan - Sister Sulan, wake up, it's time to go downstairs to eat." It was Gui Fangduan's voice.
I responded, stood up, hastily tied my hair up, put on the hanging brocade robe, and followed him downstairs to have dinner.
For three whole days, I spent money like water every day, but I didn't see Jinxuan at all. I asked Yuyun, but she just smiled and didn't say anything. Later, when I was asked urgently, she said that Miss Jinxuan was not feeling well recently and needed to rest for a while, and it was uncertain when she would come out again.
I had no choice but to sell the worthless pendant around my waist and the clothes I was wearing in exchange for a few pieces of silver. If I didn't eat breakfast and lunch at Zuihualou and only filled my stomach with buns, I could still survive for a few more days.
On the fifth night, I had a fine dinner on the first floor, and I felt that my appetite, which had been whetted by the last two meals of steamed buns, was finally relieved. I looked up and saw Gui Fangduan was also wolfing down his food. I guess he was also tortured by the steamed buns, and was thinking if Jin Xuan didn't come out, should I send him to the martial arts gym to compete and earn some money.
Perhaps he felt my gaze, he raised his head with a puffy mouth and gave me a silly smile. I felt a little guilty and smiled back at him guiltily.
At this time, a commotion came from the direction of the upper seat: "How can this be absurd! I-I have been waiting for Miss Jin Xuan for so many days, how can I hide her like this?! Why don't you bring her out to me quickly?!"
I looked in the direction of the voice and saw a familiar face.
Shi Ran.
He and Yue Liang had a similar nose bridge, but his facial features were smaller and his lips were thinner, with the corners of his mouth slightly turned down. He was tall and thin, and at this moment he was standing up with a glass of wine in his hand, with an unhappy look on his face.
Taking advantage of the fact that he didn't know me, I pushed Gui Fangduan with the back of my hand under the table.
Gui Fangduan was very smart. He swallowed the food in his mouth without any hesitation, stopped chewing, and echoed loudly: "Yes, yes! Our money doesn't come from the wind. We have to waste it here all day. Why don't we ask the girl to come out and let us see her!"
Most of the people in the hall were drunk and didn't mind watching the fun, so they followed suit. For a moment, everyone was so angry that they were about to start a fight.
The manager saw that the situation was not good and hurried to the back. Soon, a woman with a bun made of Chaoyunjinxiang, a head full of pearls and jade, and wearing a pink gauze dress, walked out with graceful steps.
I saw her with eyebrows that were long and long, cherry-like mouth, charming eyes with a hint of sharpness, and a look of light. Her face was slightly tipsy, her breasts were tender, and her every move was full of sincerity and sincerity, with delicate skin and even bones and flesh. She was as beautiful as jade, and her clothes were as light as a cicada. Her face was half drunk, and her smile was hidden in the fragrance screen. *
Even though everyone was used to seeing beautiful women on a daily basis, when they saw such a beauty, the originally noisy hall suddenly fell silent.
It was Shi Ran who was the first to break the silence. He laughed and said, "Good! Now you are sensible! Miss Jin Xuan, don't blame me. We all want to see your beauty, so we are rude to you. Come, let me drink to you first." After saying that, he walked towards Jin Xuan with the glass of wine in his hand.
Jin Xuan raised her tender white hands like water onions, covered her mouth and coughed twice, then replied: "Thank you for your kindness. It's just that I have caught a cold recently, and I am weak and frail. But I can't refuse your kindness, so I have to dance instead of drinking to thank you all." After saying this, she didn't wait for Shi Ran to approach, but waved her long sleeves and danced to the music like a fluttering flower.
Shi Ran walked halfway, not knowing whether to continue or turn back, and stood there awkwardly holding the wine glass. But after watching for a while, he seemed to forget the embarrassment and stared at Jin Xuan dancing intently.
I turned my eyes to look at Gui Fangduan, and saw that he had stopped chewing and was also watching Jin Xuan dancing. I couldn't help but think, "What a man!"
After the dance, cheers and applause rang out in the hall. Jin Xuan bowed, thanked everyone and was about to go back, but Shi Ran stopped her on her way.
"Girl, don't be in a hurry to leave! You haven't even finished my glass of wine yet!" He narrowed his eyes, with the same frivolous expression as his brother Yue Liang.
Jin Xuan frowned slightly, lowered her head and said, "Thank you very much, sir. However, I am still taking medicine, so I am afraid I can't accompany you to your heart's content..."
"How ridiculous! You cheap woman, you opened a dyeing factory just because you got a little bit of color! Don't you see what kind of person you are? You rely on your beauty and reputation to make excuses for yourself. Don't you even bother to find out who this young master is?!" Shi Ran said angrily and threw the wine glass to the ground.
