The Evil King's Favorite Concubine: Genius Perfumer

Chapter 77
On the Fanjiang River, the painting boat "Spring is Good" is not as beautifully decorated as the surrounding flower boats, but a string of colorful lights is hung symbolically.

This is because the owner of the painting boat, the former courtesan Bo Chun, did not participate in the selection of De Ling Oiran this year.However, she didn't participate last year either—a person like her who had been in the top three of Yujiang's flower rankings would be too degraded if she was relegated to the county town to compete for the top prize.

Tonight, Bo Chun still only entertains one guest, and that is her lover, Fang Shaobai.

Fang Shaobai on the Arhat's bed unbuttoned half of his outer garment, leaning on Bo Chun's lap as a pillow, enjoying the beauty's ears.

"Why are you smiling all the time tonight?" Bo Chun pursed his lips and said with a smile, "Could it be another girl you fell in love with? Why don't you hurry up and give her golden flowers?"

According to the rules of the flower evaluation list, after the divas and geisha perform in turn, the ranking will be determined by the number of golden flowers presented by many admirers.

It's just that it's called Jinhua in name, and it's not as luxurious as the flowers made of gold leaf, it's just a symbolic word.A golden flower costs one tael of silver, and many rich and wealthy men buy five hundred and one thousand of them, just to win the girl they like.There are also examples of giving favors.

Although Bo Chun was joking, he knew in his heart that Fang Shaobai was not that frivolous man who lingers around fireworks.

It is a tortuous story to tell the story of meeting him at the beginning and developing the close relationship we have today.If it wasn't for him, she wouldn't have come to Deling County... When recalling these sweet memories, Bo Chun couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth again.

Fang Shaobai lay down in a more comfortable position, and said with a smile, "I'm laughing at that guy, Ah Rui."

"Young Master Han?"

Bo Chunqi said: "That's right, it's strange that you came here alone tonight... Didn't you say that you want to go to Xinghualou with Mr. Han to drink and watch the moon and watch the fireworks?"

"Hey, that guy ran away halfway."

Fang Shaobai recounted the story of Han Rui abandoning Jiang Xuejiao and Ji Baoxun, dragging Gan Tiantian away, and said, "Isn't it interesting?"

"Oh, is that the little girl from last time?"

Bo Chun smiled with crooked eyebrows and eyes: "It's really interesting. I think Mr. Han usually doesn't even look at the girls here, and he is very upright. You seem to have said that he didn't like to let the maids at home Are we close?"

"That's right. When I went to the capital, all the maids in his yard were pretty, even though they were young...all of them were beauties. He ignored them all."

Having said that, Fang Shaobai narrowed his eyes, and his smile faded slightly.

Ah Rui is only twelve years old... that Concubine Jiang put so many beautiful maids in his yard, none of them looked like fuel-efficient lamps, what was she thinking?hehe……

Fortunately, although Ah Rui is young, he has good ideas, and he was not fooled by those maids and did any scandalous things.

Seeing this situation in Beijing that time, he wanted to persuade his cousin a few words.After seeing Han Rui's tough attitude towards those maids, Fang Shaobai knew that his worries were useless.

However, he attributed half of Han Rui's performance to the young man's unrequited love for Dou, who has not yet reached the age of knowing Mu Shaoai.Now it seems that my thinking is a bit wrong.

Ah Rui also likes girls, but the type he likes is a bit, uh, weird.

"How can you say that?"

Bo Chunjiao said angrily: "I think that little girl is very nice, she is also smart, and she speaks crisply and generously... A girl who is only ten years old has an ordinary family background. It is not easy to raise her so well."

Regarding this point, Fang Shaobai did not refute.Leaving aside that the little girl Gan Tiantian has a bit of a weird personality and does not act out of common sense, when getting along with her, it really makes people feel happy.

"It's just... well, it's too far away after all. It's hard to say whether Ah Rui will remember this girl in the future... That's all, I'll take care of him a few more times."

Bo Chun nodded, didn't say anything, but had a sad expression on his face.

These nobles...

Even if you meet a girl you like, in the end, what can you do?Like her, she can only obediently be Fang Shaobai's concubine, this is the best situation.

When Fang Shaobai officially married his wife, whether he could be tolerated by the Fang family was another matter.

Bo Chun knew Han Rui's true identity very well.

The eldest son of Xiang Wangfu, the future son.The one who can marry him is naturally a lady of every family, and the worst is the daughter of a famous scholar's family, with a noble status.

And a girl from a poor family like Gan Tiantian is probably not as respectable as a girl born in the family in the eyes of the master of the palace.

When thinking this way, Bo Chun couldn't help but think, that's better...don't provoke others.

Just let that little girl work hard in the workshop, and marry a perfumer or shopkeeper in the future, maybe the little life will be more enjoyable.

Although living in a prosperous village, what Bo Chun admires the most is the plain life of the crew-cut couple.That is the happiness that she can never reach...

"All right."

Putting away his worries, Bo Chun picked up the handkerchief on the side and slowly cleaned his ears, and pushed Fang Shaobai: "The fireworks are almost over, why don't you hurry home?"

Fang's family has strict family education, and it is indispensable to make peace every morning and evening.No matter how late Fang Shaobai played outside, he couldn't stay overnight, because at dawn the next day, he would take turns to greet the elders in each house.

"Hmm... I'm too lazy to move... Huh?"

Fang Shaobai, who was rubbing his eyes and getting up, inadvertently glanced out the window of the cabin, suddenly shivering.

"Where did the water go?"

"What, water?"

Bo Chun also looked in the same direction in surprise, only to see the flames gradually rising on the river in the distance, and thick smoke was ignited in an instant!

It's the pier!
"The pier is on fire!"

The crowd on the bank of the river, which was originally lively and celebrating, immediately became a mess!

"go!"

Han Rui, who was eating sesame glutinous rice balls with Gan Tiantian at the stall, grabbed her up abruptly, threw a silver coin to the stall owner, and left.

"The pier is on fire...why are you so nervous?"

Gan Tiantian frowned, resisting the slight pain in his arm being held by Han Rui, and didn't bother to remind him about whether a man and a woman can kiss or not.Anyway, it's not one or two physical contact tonight, he probably doesn't think of himself as a woman at all, right?
Oh, she is only a "ten-year-old" little girl, and it is true that no one pays attention to flirting with boys, and now people on the street are paying attention to the fire at the pier.

Han Rui pursed his lips tightly without saying a word, but quickly moved away from the crowd and kept running.

"Slow, slow down, I can't run anymore..."

Gan Tiantian was about to cry, he just ate a bowl of glutinous rice balls, he was full and ran so fast, his stomach started to hurt...

"Hmph. A burden."

Han Rui frowned, looked back at her little face that was turning blue, and reluctantly slowed down.However, he was still very anxious.

He had an ominous feeling.
