Yes.
For the girl nad Ah Qing, she had grown tired of a life that seed ordinary to her and required ticulous calculations for everything. So, after her fall, she felt that being a woman who wasn’t that smart... wasn’t so bad.
Not calculating too much, just living according to her genuine heart...
What kind of life would she live this way?
If a girl nad Xiaoqing, Ah Qing, had chosen this way of life, instead of following Shi Qingjun after showing a bit of promise, what would she be like...
Blinking her eyes.
Ah Qing thought there might not be a good ending, but it didn’t matter. After all, now that she had ascended to Qiankun, she could afford to be willful.
To do what she wants.
To do things that leave no regrets.
With this thought, a smile crossed her lips beneath her veil as she looked at the most ordinary Red Courtesan Girl in front of her. Her gaze passed over the girl’s hand holding the food box... then she produced a shiny piece of gold from her bosom, setting it gently on the food box as the girl remained stupefied.
"...Sister?" The girl was dumbfounded, glancing at the shiny gold even at night, then at Ah Qing’s less than ample bosom.
"This is for you." Ah Qing smiled, patting the girl’s hair which was not exactly smooth, "Oh, and if you spend it all... you can co to again.
Ah Qing was serious.
In this world, few could reach her.
"I live in..." Ah Qing was about to give her address when the girl nudged her lightly with the food box, staring dazedly at the piece of gold and blinking.
"For... for ?"
She was just the most ordinary red courtesan, and even getting a shared bed custor didn’t bring much silver. Considering her current wealth, Ah Qing’s piece of gold, assuming the girl didn’t wish to buy her freedom, would approximately keep her "booked" until... forty years old?
Where was there such reasoning?
"Consider it paynt for chatting with ... after all, I wouldn’t want to waste your ti." Ah Qing said earnestly.
For ordinary people, ti is the most precious asset.
Actually, she had considered the girl’s ability to accept it, otherwise... she would have just given silver notes, making sure the poor girl would have fainted.
But to Ah Qing’s surprise, the girl, after her initial shock, still declined.
"Sister, I... can’t accept it." The girl said, attempting to pick up the piece of gold, but found she couldn’t lift it with one hand. Clearly... she had never seen such a large gold ingot and was treating it like the weight of silver.
With so difficulty, she used both hands to lift the gold, handing it back to Ah Qing helplessly, "Sister, your strength... is truly great."
To be able to keep such a thing in her bosom... should it be said, as expected of a girl from the Inner City, even the quality of her underclothes was that good?
Ah Qing looked at the girl refusing her kindness, and after a slight pause, didn’t say anything, just took back the gold and then looked at her, "Why don’t you want it?"
She could clearly see that the girl wasn’t as nonchalant as she seed. Her eyes betrayed her reluctance.
Yet she... still refused.
"...I don’t know." The girl, seeing Ah Qing take back the gold, finally breathed a sigh of relief. She touched her earlobe and said softly, "I don’t know either, it just feels... like I can’t take sister’s silver."
"Where did this stupid girl co from." Ah Qing sighed, thinking... refusing her kindness without even needing a reason?
Ah Qing stared at the girl in front of her and asked, "Hasn’t your aunt taught you not to miss opportunities?"
Undeniably, her goodwill was indeed a great opportunity.
Even if... Ah Qing was just a rich Courtesan, but if there’s silver for you, taking it safely would be best... after all, there’s a high probability there would be no further interactions in the future.
The girl said nothing.
So Ah Qing asked again, "Or is it that... you don’t need this bit of silver?"
"It’s definitely needed... or, sister, if you give another chance, this ti I promise I’d take it." The girl looked up with a trace of a smile in her eyes.
At this mont, having confird that Ah Qing was a good woman, the Red Courtesan skillfully used her sense of familiarity.
This ti, instead, it made Ah Qing laugh.
"...You little girl... never mind."
Ah Qing once again recalled the lessons she learned from Huang’Er.
Never...
Never underestimate any woman, even if she has yet to mature, even if she seems to be just a red courtesan from the bottom of society.
"So then." Ah Qing took out a small piece of broken silver and placed it in the girl’s hand, watching her happily accept it, then asked, "Why refuse?"
A tiny piece of broken silver and a gold ingot, one is in the heavens, and the other on the earth.
The goodwill is the sa, fundantally indistinguishable.
"Sister." After getting the silver, the girl glanced at the bustling lights in the distance and then beca sowhat serious, "If I accept that gold, I’m afraid... it could cause trouble."
For the peace of her aunt and sisters, she wouldn’t take things that didn’t belong to her or things she shouldn’t have.
"...So, I’m just trouble." Ah Qing thought wistfully.
"Dear sister, don’t scare ." The girl said helplessly, "There was no such implication towards you."
"...Alright."
Ah Qing now understood, a piece of gold was not a small sum, and if the girl today encountered a capricious woman, then... if she ca knocking afterward, it would indeed be troubleso.
