But Shen Lianqing looked at this word and pattern and had no idea at all.
What jade pendant? Take it from whom? What does it mean? What's the point of taking it? Why should she take it? What is Xia Ziyu’s unknown purpose in saying this?
Shen Lianqing felt uneasy.
After Xia Ziyu put down a mysterious piece of paper, it disappeared with the wind. The content on the paper had been made very clear. Someone would come to her with it, so she just had to wait.
He was urged by the secret guards to go down to Jiangnan at dawn. He had nothing else on hand and couldn't make a big splash. At such a tense moment, any movement he made would attract their attention.
He could only temporarily store his Peony girl in Xunfang Pavilion, and when the storm was over, he could redeem her.
The paper left in her hand contains a secret, and she can get the Ziyu Pendant of his secret agent.
He had contacted the leader of one of his strongholds on the way, and when he saw the contents of the paper, he would go to Xunfang Pavilion.
It was difficult to state the person's name directly in the secret letter, so he asked someone to go to the Tianzi Room on the third floor with a jade pendant to wait quietly.
Xia Ziyu arranged it well, but Shen Lianqing was confused. She thought that the male protagonist's behavior must be a hint to what she was going to do.
Master Xia Ziyu was in the south of the Yangtze River. He pretended to be his subordinate in the capital and got engaged to the concubine of the Hou Mansion.
When Shen Lianqing heard the news, she actually felt like the dust had settled, and there would still be some points that would determine whether the plot should be changed or not.
She pretended to be sad for a few days, and after the madam comforted her a few times, Zhenhe immediately asked her to come out on the night of December 3rd.
Oh, she has given Shen Lianqing a long rest, but Prince Xia has neither come to ransom her nor given her any special care. She still wants to deny her money?
She is a has-been oiran, so why not take advantage of Prince Xia's interest in keeping her a secret and go get more of her while everyone is full of mystery about her? Would she be sad for the spring and autumn?
The most indispensable thing in their Xunfang Pavilion is girls. When she grows old, look at how she will cry!
Shen Lianqing dragged her around, and it took a long time to get the madam to change her mind and go out on December 4th.
"You take care of yourself!"
The madam looked at her one last time, twisted her hips and walked out.
"Yeah, yeah." Shen Lian Qingyan smiled at Yan Yan, "Mom, please walk slowly."

There are rules in Xunfang Pavilion. If it is not the Kuishui period, the top group must pick up customers twice a week, except of course those who are hired by big shots or have a fixed source of customers.
Sometimes when encountering irresistible factors, they still have to deal with both sides and do not want to please either side.
Shen Lianqing changed her place after Xia Ziyu left. She now lives in a large courtyard in Xunfang Pavilion. The paths in the courtyard are paved with stones, and many bamboos are planted on both sides. The snow from the sky falls and accumulates on the leaves. .
She lived on the second floor, and at a glance she could see the green bamboo leaves and white snow in the yard. The slightly raised eaves on the red and black pillars cast a thin layer of winter loneliness.
Shen Lianqing was changing her clothes when there were continuous knocks on the door, "Who is it?"
"It's me, sister Lianqing."
In addition to the titles that change every three months in Xunfang Pavilion, the sisters in private like to call each other by their names. As soon as Shen Lianqing heard this, she knew it was a senior with whom she usually had a good relationship.
Her name is Lao Ao. She is relatively elegant in appearance, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is dressed in green clothes and has a bookish air. She is very popular among people.
"Oh, wait a minute~"
Shen Lianqing stuffed the piece of paper into her chest and planned to go see what Xia Ziyu wanted her to do tonight.
Opening the door, a burst of snowflakes blew in the wind. Shen Lianqing turned aside to let Lao Ao in, closed the door and turned around to ask Lao Ao what happened.
Gao Gao smiled gently, like a white lotus in the water bowing its head slightly in the wind. It was hard to tell what age she was, but her shyness made people look at her affectionately.
She held Shen Lianqing's hand and pulled her to the dressing table. She pushed her to sit down, and while taking off the hairpin on her head, she smiled and said, "The guests who appointed us tonight are all of some status." Scholar, my mother is afraid that your dress, sister, does not conform to their taste, so she specially asked me to help you."
Um?
Shen Lianqing had no doubts and allowed her to help her dress up again.
She raised her head and blinked at her with long eyelashes and no eyeliner. Her black hair was like clouds. The beauty smiled sweetly from across the clouds, and the entire room without lights lit up.
Lao Ao had gentle eyes and a decent smile on her lips. She stretched out her hand to remove the obstruction on the snow-white surface, but Shen Lianqing covered her chest to stop her.
"Sister Lao, no."
"Why not?" Lao Lao was slightly surprised. The clothes she was wearing did not match the color of the tube top underneath.
Shen Lianqing and she are not the same kind of gentlemen. She will definitely spend the spring breeze with her guests tonight. Doesn't she want to leave the best part to her guests?
Gao Ao thought she was shy, so she chose a goose-yellow tube top for her, then turned her back and said, "If my sister doesn't look at you, you can change it yourself."
Shen Lianqing pulled the slippery fabric and made gestures on her body.
Another voice came from outside the door. It was the madam. She seemed to have no use for her strength. She banged the door loudly, "Lianqing, are you okay? The guests on the third floor were here by name." Urging you!"
"Hey, here we come!" She hurriedly put on her clothes, opened the door and rushed out.
"Sister Lianqing! Don't be so anxious." Gao looked at her clothes that had fallen on the floor and was speechless for a moment. She lowered her head and followed her away and found a note.
She lowered her body, picked up the note, folded it and put it in her sleeve. She shook her head slightly and said, "You're still not too old and frizzy."
Gao Gao was just thirty when she was a child. Her family was in trouble and she was forced to be sold to a brothel. She became a praised luthier with her good piano skills.
Her background is not complicated, and she has dealt with many big shots over the years.
She had already saved enough ransom money, but she didn't know where to go after leaving Xunfang Pavilion, so she had no choice but to stay here.
As an old man in Xunfang Pavilion, she only focuses on playing the piano and teaching others to play the piano, and only occasionally comes out to perform.
Gao Ao is the one person in Xunfang Pavilion who is worth a lot of money.
This time the people who came to Xunfang Pavilion were well-known celebrities. She heard that Mr. Cui was also here, and he named her among the people.
Before the madam could say anything, she immediately agreed.
Who in their flower house doesn't know Cui Lan?
They had sung many of his poems, not to mention that he was a cool and wild man, and would occasionally compose poems for them, even though he never came to the brothel.
Today, he is here.
Who or what prompted him to come? Will he take notice of my appearance?
Even though she is not young anymore, she still can't help but think wildly.
