Chapter 459 Little Crybaby, Beautiful and Delicate, Rough Man Doting on His Wife Makes People Swoon 9_3
This thing was almost like a bamboo hat, and after putting it on, it could cover above the neck. Su Zhiruan was quite satisfied.
"Madam, where would you like to go? I can show you the way," the waiter looked like an enthusiastic tour guide, or so Su Zhiruan thought.
"Is there anything fun to do in the county?" Su Zhiruan asked aimlessly as she walked.
The waiter pondered and then hesitated in his words, "There is one... but it might not be suitable for you, Madam."
"Why?" Su Zhiruan was curious.
"Tonight is... it's the day the girls at Chunfeng Building throw the embroidered balls, and there will certainly be a crowd," the waiter stammered as he gestured the way to Su Zhiruan.
Chunfeng Building.
Just by hearing the name, one could guess what it was.
"Throwing embroidered balls?" Su Zhiruan's interest was piqued, "And catching them?"
As Su Zhiruan spoke, a burly, stout man nearby heard her and laughed heartily, "If you catch the ball, it means a moment of spring wind. It wouldn't quite suit you, young lady."
"What about just watching the excitement?"
"Let's go, it just so happens I'm heading there too."
Su Zhiruan and the stout man headed toward Chunfeng Building, with the waiter vigilantly watching the man, ready to act if he attempted any misdeed.
Chunfeng Building, that is, a brothel. After a brief chat with the stout man, Su Zhiruan also understood what today's event was about.
In short, it was the debut of the new girls; they threw embroidered balls to catch the townspeople's attention. The person who caught a ball could go upstairs to listen to her play music and dance, pour tea and water, but advancing further would require money.
Though it may seem ordinary, human nature loves spectacles, and such events always draw large crowds. Fewer women went to watch the ball throwing, but that did not mean none went; after all, having a beauty perform music and dance for one's pleasure is a great temptation, something many looked forward to every month.
The Third Prince and the Attendant Student had been following Su Zhiruan closely, and seeing that they had ended up at a brothel and noticing the eager crowd, they were quite surprised.
"Young Master, there are so many people here!"
The Attendant Student's mouth hung open as he looked up at the Third Prince, only to find his Highness's gaze fixed on the woman ahead. He then closed his mouth and whispered softly, "Young Master... you couldn't possibly be smitten with that lady, could you?"
"What if I am," the Third Prince did not hide it; he grinned rakishly, "To encounter such a stunning beauty in such a humble place, I must make the beauty notice me."
"Young Master, in my opinion, that lady is certainly no ordinary person," the Attendant Student's eyes flickered with worry, "No common family could possibly raise such a beautiful woman, she might be some noble's daughter."
The Third Prince waved his hand nonchalantly, his tone carefree, "I am a prince, so even if she is some noble's daughter, what of it? Unless she is the Princess of marriage, even if she were indeed a princess, why shouldn't I seek her hand in marriage?"
