Ling Mo Han truly admired Feng Jin's imagination, how she could write about anything.
"I'm adding some suspense, it will attract more viewers."
If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. When the manuscript is released, he'll regret it.
"Which is the best opera troupe in the capital?"
"I don't know."
"You don't know? Don't you ever go to see plays or listen to music?"
Aren't these essential daily activities for ancient people? How could Ling Mo Han not know?
"My dear wife, your husband is very busy every day, not as leisurely as you imagine."
Feng Jin's brow furrowed slightly. Ling Mo Han did seem to be busy and elusive every day.
Compared to Gu Bei Chen, who was idle and wandered around, Ling Mo Han was unusually busy.
"As for the opera troupe, you should ask Gu Bei Chen. He is the best in this regard."
"Really? I'll go ask him now."
As soon as the words fell, Feng Jin disappeared from the room.
Ling Mo Han sighed helplessly and went to tidy up the papers on the desk.
...
On the street, the Ling Mansion's carriage moved slowly forward, with two handsome young men sitting inside.
Feng Jin lifted the curtain and looked outside, "Gu Bei Chen is already leaving the city. Where exactly are you going to find someone for me?"
Gu Bei Chen fanned himself lightly and cleared his throat, "Calm down, calm down. Since this prince said he would take you, you just need to follow. Why so many questions?"
"You talk less nonsense. I am your master now. Is this how you treat your master? Do you know what respect for teachers is!"
Feng Jin said angrily. This Gu Bei Chen had gotten too arrogant, daring to speak to her like this. Did he not want to live?
"It is difficult to raise both women and small people. This prince will not argue with women."
"Shut up!" Feng Jin glared at Gu Bei Chen. If she wasn't asking for his help, with her personality, she would have kicked him flying long ago.
"His Highness has arrived."
The servant stopped the carriage and said to Gu Bei Chen.
"We're here, hurry up and get out of the carriage." Feng Jin couldn't wait and got out of the carriage.
"Be careful. You're dressed as a man right now. Don't let anything slip."
Gu Bei Chen stopped Feng Jin and reminded her.
"I know. It's not like you to be so meddlesome, insisting I dress like this. And your clothes are really uncomfortable..."
"It's good enough that I'm lending you my clothes. Don't make so much trouble, let's get things done first."
Gu Bei Chen couldn't be bothered to argue with Feng Jin over these trivial matters and walked ahead. After passing an alley, they arrived at their destination.
Gu Bei Chen stepped forward and knocked twice. After a while, someone opened the door from inside.
"Young Master Gu, you're here?" The one who opened the door was a young maid, who looked just of age.
"Little Yao, where is your young lady?"
"My lady is inside. Please come in, Young Master."
Xiao Tao opened the door and welcomed them in.
"My lady, my lady... Young Master Gu is here, and he brought a handsome young gentleman I haven't seen before."
"You little maid, how did I teach you? You're still so reckless."
A clear and beautiful voice came from the room, and a tall, slender figure gracefully emerged.
Feng Jin eagerly squeezed forward and saw a beautiful girl, with a pure and ethereal appearance, no less striking than the noble ladies of the families.
"Young Master Gu, what brings you here? And who is this young gentleman?"
"Miss Zhang, this is my friend..."
"Greetings, Miss. I am Feng Jin. Please forgive my intrusion."
"Young Master Feng, you are too polite. Since you are a friend of Young Master Gu, please come in for some tea."
Zhang You Er's lips curved into a faint smile, and she welcomed them in.
"Two young gentlemen, I only have some humble tea here. Please don't mind it."
"We don't mind... we don't mind..."
Feng Jin spoke first, taking a sip of tea from the cup. The aroma of the tea, mixed with a faint scent of lotus flowers, spread in her mouth.
"Miss Zhang, is the water you used to brew this tea dew from the lotus flowers?"
When she arrived, she had seen a pond full of lotus flowers, and coupled with the lotus fragrance in the tea, she naturally thought of it.
"Young Master, your nose is truly amazing. The water used to brew this tea is dew that my lady collected drop by drop from the lotus flowers. She only managed to get this pot in a morning."
"Xiao Tao, you little maid, you're talking more and more. Go prepare some dishes."
Zhang You Er gently chided, then looked at them with an apologetic smile, "Please excuse my maid's behavior. This little girl has been with me since she was young, and I treat her like a younger sister. She has no manners, please don't take offense."
"Miss, saying that makes us feel like strangers..."
Feng Jin had a certain social butterfly nature. They had just met, and she already felt a sense of instant kinship with Zhang You Er.
She pulled Zhang You Er and chatted animatedly.
Gu Bei Chen was completely ignored and could only drink tea by himself.
"Ahem..." Gu Bei Chen cleared his throat, interrupting their conversation. If they continued, the day would be over, and Feng Jin would have forgotten why they were here.
"Miss Zhang, we are here to ask for your favor."
With Gu Bei Chen's reminder, Feng Jin finally remembered why they had come. Under Zhang You Er's confused gaze, Feng Jin quickly said, "That's right, we have something to ask of you.
"Miss Zhang, my friend here has written a manuscript and would like to ask you to perform it on stage..."
Zhang You Er's expression stiffened, and her voice trembled slightly, "Young Master Gu, you know that I no longer perform. I just want to live a quiet life now. I can't help you with this, please find someone else."
Now it was Feng Jin's turn to be anxious. From the moment she saw Zhang You Er, she felt that Zhang You Er was the perfect candidate for the heroine in her manuscript.
"Miss Zhang, if you read my manuscript, you will definitely like it very much..."
"Young Master Feng, I have already sworn that I will not perform again. Please forgive me."
Feng Jin was not a shameless person. Hearing Zhang You Er's resolute refusal, she felt embarrassed to press further and could only say dejectedly, "It was my fault for being presumptuous. Please forgive me, Miss."
"Miss Zhang, this is the manuscript I wrote. You can read it in your leisure time to pass the time."
Feng Jin insisted on leaving the manuscript, thinking that perhaps Zhang You Er would change her mind after reading it.
After leaving, Feng Jin had lost all the enthusiasm she had when she arrived. She leaned listlessly, sighing occasionally, her face full of worry.
"There are plenty of fish in the sea. If Zhang You Er doesn't agree, I'll help you find someone else. We'll eventually find a suitable one," Gu Bei Chen said to comfort her.
