Chapter 1471 - 1466: Mrs. Jin’s Grand Deception Method!
At noon the next day, as agreed, Mu Xiaxia went to Jiu Si Xuan to find Mrs. Jin.
Mrs. Jin brought a matchmaker and the person she was introducing to Mu Xiaxia, and she invited Mu Xiaxia to a meal.
If the two were to hit it off, they would arrange the marriage; if not, it would just be Mrs. Jin showing Mu Xiaxia the world.
According to Mrs. Jin’s requirements, Mu Xiaxia had already taken a day off from the Red House’s lady boss and returned to the Old Mu Family, changed into clothes sent by Mrs. Jin, and applied rouge and powder...
In short, today’s Mu Xiaxia was different from any other time.
After being meticulously dressed, she appeared more charming and alluring than usual.
Jiu Si Xuan——
Mrs. Jin was with Landlord Yang, drinking tea and eating snacks.
Landlord Yang was in his forties, doing business in the county, and had some familial relations with the County Magistrate.
His house was filled with wives and concubines; he had married as many as over twenty concubines.
This time, it was also due to Mrs. Jin’s persistent persuasion that he had a distant relative who was not only beautiful but also clean.
If Landlord Yang liked her, he would think of a way to make this relative his twenty-ninth concubine.
Of course, the concubine part was fake; Mrs. Jin wanted Mu Xiaxia to enchant Landlord Yang for real!
If she could enchant Landlord Yang, Mrs. Jin would immediately find a way to sell Mu Xiaxia off.
Let Landlord Yang go to a brothel and request Mu Xiaxia to serve him!
"Mrs. Mu, why hasn’t your distant relative arrived yet? The table is already covered with dishes!"
In the private room, a man with a fat head and big ears, his face greasy, looked impatient.
"Good food is never too late, Landlord Yang don’t hurry! This girl is used to staying in the countryside, she’s never dressed up before. This time, hearing she would meet Landlord Yang, she’s been dressing up since early morning, it’s normal to be a bit late!"
Mrs. Jin spoke slowly.
Upon hearing this, the fat-headed, big-eared Landlord Yang immediately showed a lewd smile.
"Your distant relative seems to have intentions then, I’ll wait a bit longer! But she better be pretty, because if she’s not, I won’t put in a good word with the County Magistrate!"
Landlord Yang looked at Mrs. Jin, as if to say he was not someone to be trifled with.
Mrs. Jin kept smiling apologetically, but inside she was cursing Landlord Yang, and, incidentally, cursing Mu Xiaxia as well.
Mu Xiaxia had actually arrived at Jiu Si Xuan, but out of nervousness, she was standing just outside the restaurant.
She alternated between taking deep breaths and wiping the sweat from her forehead, taking quite a while to calm down.
Fearing the people inside would wait too long, Mu Xiaxia finally stepped into Jiu Si Xuan.
Upon entering Jiu Si Xuan, her first reaction was to look around to see if she could spot Zheng Zhi.
That man had introduced her to work and told her to find him if needed.
Although Mu Xiaxia knew, she wouldn’t really ask that man for help.
Once Mu Xiaxia appeared at Jiu Si Xuan, the shopkeeper immediately recognized her as someone who had come looking for Zheng Zhi before.
He quickly came up to her, "Girl, are you here to see our owner? He’s here right now, I can take you to him!"
Mu Xiaxia waved her hands repeatedly, "No...no, my aunt is here for a meal, she called me to join, but I..."
"Your aunt? Do you know her last name? I can take you to her!"
Mu Xiaxia nodded, "Her last name is Jin, her husband’s last name is Mu!"
As soon as Mu Xiaxia spoke, the shopkeeper knew who she was looking for.
"Are you talking about Mrs. Mu? She’s wearing a bright red coat today, with a fur shawl around her neck?"
The shopkeeper asked!
Mu Xiaxia nodded, "That’s right, that’s my aunt, she...Could you tell me where she is?"
"Second floor, Plum Blossom Room!"
The private rooms in Jiu Si Xuan were named after flowers, with different names representing the level of exclusivity.
Plum Blossom was relatively upscale, and the shopkeeper remembered it well.
However, inside wasn’t just Mrs. Mu, but also the fat-headed, big-eared Landlord Yang!
"Little girl, do you know who is inside?" the shopkeeper suddenly asked.
Mu Xiaxia was stunned, then blushed and nodded.
"I know!"
The shopkeeper frowned instantly, "Do you really know?"
"Yes! Grandpa Shopkeeper, I’ll go upstairs now, otherwise my aunt will get upset if I make her wait too long!"
Mu Xiaxia hurriedly headed to the second floor.
The shopkeeper watched the little girl’s departing figure with some concern.
He hurriedly followed to the third floor to report this to Zheng Zhi!
Mu Xiaxia went up to the second floor and asked a waiter to find out where the Plum Blossom Room was.
Just as she knocked on the door, Mrs. Jin came out looking hurried.
"Xiaxia, why are you so late? Do you know how anxious people have been waiting?"
Mrs. Jin asked.
Mu Xiaxia’s face turned red immediately, "Sorry, Aunt, I didn’t mean it, I..."
"It’s okay, silly girl, your aunt isn’t blaming you! Just worried, afraid something happened to you!"
Mrs. Jin spoke with false sincerity and then continued, "By the way, Xiaxia, since you took so long, the matchmaker had something come up, so she left earlier!
The young gentleman also left, but don’t worry, his father is inside. Be polite, and address him as ’Sir’ when you go in, okay?"
Mu Xiaxia was startled, but then nodded.’
"I understand, Aunt! Is it really okay for me to meet that person like this?"
Mu Xiaxia was still a bit worried.
"It’s fine, his family may be wealthy, but they aren’t government officials like us. Just be bold, and answer whatever he asks!
If it’s about marriage, your aunt will handle it, okay?"
What Mrs. Jin said now seemed like a decree to Mu Xiaxia, and under normal circumstances, Mu Xiaxia wouldn’t object!
"Mm, I understand!"
"Good girl, follow your aunt inside!"
Mrs. Jin placed her hand on Mu Xiaxia’s wrist in a friendly manner, leading her into the room.
As they went inside, Zheng Zhi was coming down from the third floor.
"Sir, should we call that girl out?" the shopkeeper asked!
"No need. Since she’s gone in, she must know about this. But for her sister’s sake, we can’t let her stray!
So do this: have someone inside keep watch, and if anything excessive happens, burst in. If nothing happens, just act like you don’t know anything!
Also, when that girl comes out, forget it... this matter should be handled by the manager of the Red House, let her lecture that girl a bit!"
