I, the peerless enchantress, and those decent fairies

As an ordinary person, I have nothing to show off except embroidery. Perhaps I don’t even have the qualifications to stay in Miss Ruan Yi’s heart.

Chapter 190: Flirting

And from his own point of view, Miss Ruan Yi really seems to be a good match for his own daughter. The two of them seem to be so well matched.

Shanshan could see that the guests who came here naturally thought about these things, but they didn't care, because the guests who came here had heard the rumors about Ruan Yi.

So they had no idea about this new courtesan. They came here just to see Ruan Yi's appearance. They came here to see what the courtesan that even the empress came to see looked like.

Beautiful and sexy, for what they saw of Ruan Yi, they could admit that they were indeed not as good-looking as the new courtesan, but based on her looks alone, the flower charmer in front of them was really worthy of being noticed by the empress.

But she was just an oiran, how could it be possible for the empress to come and see her in person?

This doesn't make sense at all, so they have been staring at her here these days, wanting to know what's so great about Ruan Yi.

They don’t know because only those who have come into contact with Ruan Yi can slowly discover the good in her.

Because of the curtain blocking her view, Ruan Yi no longer cared about the sight of people outside, because her heart was completely on Ningyan who was beside her.

Ningyan also noticed the fiery gazes coming from those around her. After she finished playing the last song, she placed her hand on the guzheng to steady the still trembling strings.

"It seems that today's guests also came with other purposes."

After Ning Yan finished speaking, she finally looked at Ruan Yi, who had been keeping her eyes on her, and even said teasingly, "And even I have an absent-minded sister by my side."

As soon as Ning Yan finished speaking, Ruan Yi immediately looked away. It was really embarrassing to be caught peeking at others.

But Ningyan didn't intend to let the person in front of her go. "Sister, why were you not serious just now? Um... can you tell me?"

Ruan Yi's behavior a few days ago really surprised Ningyan. Ruan Yi actually took the initiative to ask to help in the building. Why did Ruan Yi have such an idea?

The boss lady should not have talked to her about such things, and it was obvious that the decline in business here had nothing to do with Ruan Yi.

Even though she came to help, she only knew that Hongfeng Tower seemed a little more lively now, but the ladies in Hongfeng Tower seemed to have no business at all. Except for a small number of people who came here with the same mood as before.

The remaining new customers who had never been here before were mostly here just to drink tea and then observe Ruan Yi beside them.

If this continues, Ningyan just wants to say that the Hongfeng Tower she built might eventually become a teahouse like the ones outside.

There is nothing wrong with the teahouse, but if there were no Hongfeng Tower, the girls in the building would have no chance of survival.

However, as for the future of Hongfeng Tower, Ningyan will have to wait until the proprietress is really out of options before she takes action to change the current situation.

Now she still continues to stay close to her sister Ruan Yi. How could Ruan Yi be so beautiful? Such beautiful looks made Ningyan, who was quite confident in her appearance, have to admit defeat.

"You should know that it was you who said it first, sister. It was you who said you wanted to learn the guzheng, so I let you sit next to me."

Ningyan gently held Ruan Yi's hand and said, "I want to ask you, sister, what have you learned from sitting next to me for these few hours?"

"Learned something?"

Ruan Yi wanted to hide away now, because Ruan Yi was very self-aware, she knew that she didn't read anything just now.

Just now, all her attention was on Ningyan's face. How could she have the mind to look at Guzheng? It is everyone's nature to look at beautiful women. It is very normal to be stunned by such a beautiful person as Ningyan.

"I haven't learned anything..."

How could it be possible to learn something as difficult as the guzheng by just watching it for a few seconds? Only a genius could do this. Ruan Yi was not like that. Even for something like embroidery, she needed hands-on teaching before she could learn the basics.

Ruan Yi had never learned to play the guzheng before, but she had learned some modern instruments like guitar in college. However, the distance between the guzheng and the instrument should be very large, and she didn't have any nails.

"I don't think he's suitable for playing the piano."

Ruan Yi felt that her current observation of humans was of no use at all. After all, she couldn't see the other person's emotions at all. She was ready to retreat and think about other things honestly.

It’s like how we should restore Hongfenglou’s business to its original state.

After all, this was her mission. When Ruan Yi was about to leave, Ning Yan reached out and easily pulled Ruan Yi into her arms.

Hold yourself in the other person's arms like a child. You should know that there may be people outside. Although there is a curtain blocking the view, they can still see what you are doing inside. If you stay in the other person's arms and act coquettishly, and someone outside sees you, it will be a public execution.

When Ruan Yi was pulled into Ningyan's arms, she struggled a little. This reminded Ruan Yi of the first time she met Ningyan. Facing Ningyan, she seemed to have no ability to resist at all.

Ruan Yi was about to cry. Although she had no idea how much higher Ning Yan's cultivation level was than hers, just based on the huge difference in strength between the two of them, she knew that Ning Yan was someone she could never beat.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have nails. Guzheng is actually easier than you think."

When Ruan Yi saw that Ningyan simply hugged her, she felt relieved, but the pink skin on her face still exposed her shyness.

Ningyan is very doting on Ruan Yi, but what Ningyan is going to do next may make Ruan Yi a little disgusted.

Because her attitude might have to be stronger next time, otherwise her little cutie and little little cutie might never be able to realize their relationship.

Ningyan gently took Ruan Yi's hand, pushed her sleeve back twice to reveal her white and clear wrist, then pinched Ruan Yi's slender fingers to pluck the strings of the guzheng, "Don't be afraid of playing the zither, it doesn't matter whether you can listen or not, there are some things that you can only know after trying them yourself."

And if the next play is bad, it will be the guest sitting outside's fault. He has been staying in Hongfeng Tower all day and not doing his job. She is a little bored after talking about so many guzheng songs today. It is more interesting to tease Ruan Yi who is beside her.

Chapter 191: The Mess

Ruan Yi is not completely ignorant of music. She has some musical foundation, so even though it was her first time playing the guzheng, she played it pretty well.

Although it is not the kind of heavenly sound, it is not impossible to listen to it. It’s just that the weight is really difficult to grasp, sometimes it is loud and sometimes it is soft.

However, Ruan Yi was really satisfied that she could do this for the first time. She looked at Ning Yan, who had just taught her, with joy, and her beautiful little face was full of excitement.

"Sister Ningyan, I did it."

Ningyan also touched Ruan Yi's head lovingly, "Yes, sister, I told you it's very simple."

But at this moment, a discordant sound appeared, the sound of a teacup hitting the table heavily. Ruan Yi was frightened by the discordant sound, and her fingers accidentally hooked the strings, causing the guzheng to vibrate violently and make a sharp and piercing sound.

"This guzheng is played in a very indecent way."

The woman who had just slammed the cup on the table said bluntly, "It seems that this new courtesan is just a pretty face."

I wonder how many of the arts this so-called vase can master are music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Ningyan said before that the guzheng playing was perfect, and even she couldn't find any fault with it. It was only that one person's fault, and the others were just as shabby as this brothel.

The woman was a noble from a famous family in the imperial capital. Although she lived in the imperial city and her parents held high positions and important posts in the court, she had met the empress only a few times. Every time, she just followed her parents and watched the empress in her mind from afar.

The remarks made by the woman, who was not polite at all, resonated with people around her.

Most of the guests at Hongfeng Tower now are new guests that have never been seen before. They all come for only one purpose, and most of them are from famous and noble families.

Perhaps one or two Hongfenglou could still handle it, but with so many young ladies coming here, even if the girl is the boss lady’s relationship is strong, it is simply not enough.

"Did the conversation go badly?"

Ruan Yi said in a very low voice, her good mood just now had completely disappeared. Ruan Yi thought she had worked hard enough, but it didn't matter.

The disappointment in Ruan Yi's eyes only showed for a moment and then disappeared completely. Should she forget about playing the piano?

When Ruan Yi was about to stand up quickly, Ning Yan raised her hand and pushed her down again, "Sister Ning Yan?"

Ningyan faced Ruan Yi's questions and she didn't say a word in response.

She just gently placed her slender and beautiful hands on the guzheng, "Ruan Yi, cover your ears with your hands obediently, Shanshan, you too..."

Ningyan really feels it is a pity now. Ruan Yi's beautiful face is so aggressive, charming and stunning, why does she always show a weak expression from time to time?

Although it was very cute, she felt really unhappy when she thought that Ruan Yi made this expression because she was being bullied.

Ningyan was very upset. She plucked all the strings of the guzheng with her fingers. The sharp sound of the vibrating strings made all the guests in Hongfeng Tower cover their ears with headache.

"What are you doing, sister?"

When Ning Yin was about to try again, Ruan Yi grabbed her hand tightly.

"She just said that to you, don't you have any thoughts at all?"

"Just now……"

Isn't it just saying that I'm just a vase? Ruan Yi felt a little depressed, but nothing else.

After all, how could Ruan Yi, who had suffered a lot from society, be defeated by such a small remark? She had heard worse and more serious words, so these were nothing.

"It's impossible to say that I really don't have any thoughts! I wonder if my sister will be angry about this, my boss lady."

You have to know that Ruan Yi’s current mission is to restore the business of the entire Hongfenglou to its original state. If she doesn’t find reincarnation, Ruan Yi will still be a miserable worker.

"That doesn't matter. The boss lady can't do anything to me. But as your sister, I will never let you be bullied."

Empress Si Huang is really something. If she wants to leave, then just leave! She has to leave so many troubles for Ruan Yi and herself.

However, Empress Si Huang is not a fool. She has some impressive means to maintain the entire dynasty. She probably also thinks of the situation of Hongfeng Tower. I don’t know if you have become like this now, but it is mostly Empress Si Huang’s fault, and she will definitely take responsibility.

Someone will eventually come to solve the mess in Hongfeng Tower.

"Thank you."

Although she still hasn't figured out Ningyan's purpose, the only thing she has figured out now is that Ningyan doesn't have much ill will towards her and is someone she can get along with without any worries.

This also made Ruan Yi completely relax her guard against her. Someone who cared about her so much and could stand up for others should not be able to harm Shan Shan.

This way I can relax a little.

But Shanshan’s problem was solved, but the problem caused by Ningyan just now is now difficult to solve.

Just now, Ningyan plucked the strings of the guzheng hard with her fingers, causing a loud noise. This action was completely intentional. The woman who put the cup down heavily just now naturally would not miss this opportunity.

The new oiran who had no talent was like this just now, and now even the top-notch girl who had some talent is like this. However, compared to the new oiran, she is nothing but a vase.

What Ningyan did just now was really too much. As someone in this industry, it is taboo to disrespect customers.

The woman was already in a bad mood, and when she learned that the empress she worshipped and believed in actually came here to see a new courtesan, she was really jealous, but as a young lady she still had some basic manners.

Even though Ningyan suddenly attacked him with the noise of the strings just now, he did not make too loud a noise, nor did he yell or hit her like a shrew, and he still maintained basic composure.

The woman was not going to say anything more to the people here. She stood up, put the money she had spent today on the table, and prepared to leave.

As for what to do when she returned, the woman had already decided to tell her father everything that had just happened in Hongfeng Tower.

If she gets into a quarrel here, not only will she get nothing good, but it will also ruin her reputation. The woman would not do such a thankless task.

So now she is planning to go back and make things difficult for Hong Feng Lou, and force it to completely go bankrupt and close down.

Chapter 192: Beauty

Ningyan's rude behavior made the new guests, mostly women, very unhappy with Ningyan's rude behavior. After returning, they asked the soldiers to completely seal off this place.

Before Ning Yan said anything, Ruan Yi could no longer sit still. If the woman in front of her reported him to the government and the Hongfeng Tower was closed down, then there would be no hope for her mission.

[System sister, you didn’t tell me what the punishment would be if I failed the task I gave you, right?]

[There is a punishment, which is to fine you a few energy points.]

[How many?]

[Half of what's in your pocket now.]

[Sister System, this is a bit of a profiteering.]

Ruan Yi is now expressing a very unhappy emotion in her heart. She cherishes this energy point more than gold.

You should know that the Energy Point Store is filled with things that look very useful, and recently the Energy Point Store has added some modern goods, like beautiful snow-white wedding dresses, and some small gadgets that are not actually that precious in today's world but cannot be made with current technology.

Things like black stockings are obviously very cheap, but they need to be exchanged for energy points.

Scarcity makes things valuable. Ruan Yi can be said to be a complete hamster. Unless it is something he urgently needs, Ruan Yi will not use energy points.

But now the system sister wants to take over her own small treasury, which is absolutely not allowed.

However, the one who wanted to touch her own small treasury was her own system sister, and Ruan Yi had no way to refute it. Now she could only swallow her bitterness in silence.

By the time she reacted, the woman had already left. It was too late to rush over to stop her. It was no longer a matter of life and death being determined by fate, or wealth and honor being in the hands of God.

It doesn’t matter whether the mission is completed or not. Now she just hopes that Ningyan, who offended that woman, is fine.

However, it would be a bit unnecessary for her to worry about Ningyan now. Ningyan was much stronger than herself, so there was no point in worrying.

And Ningyan now looks extremely calm, with a calmness and no ripples in the depths of her eyes, without any fear or worry.

Then I don't need to worry too much, it's just her little treasury!

When Ruan Yi thought that half of her small treasury was about to disappear, she was still very unwilling. She decided to talk more with the system sister in the evening and see if she could use it to reduce the fine.

Is half and half okay?

Ruan Yi was a little reluctant to hand over half of the energy points in her own treasury at once, fearing that it was to be handed over to the system sister who was like her own housekeeper.

Even when facing your wife, you have to have some private money.
