After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss

The people in the audience responded to Xu Zheng's call, and Xia Nian also took this opportunity to change her makeup, hair and dress.

"It's perfect. I guess my hands will cramp from counting money at night!" Meng Yin said excitedly.

Xia Nian smiled and said, "There's one more song. Let's go."

"Okay." Meng Yin drank a large glass of water and skipped beside Xia Nian.

Below the stage, Xiahou Yu sat in his seat, looking at the ribbon in his hand.

Of all the people, Xia Nian gave it to him alone. Was it because he was the one she knew best?

Seeing him staring at the ribbon in a trance, Xiao Xian couldn't help but say, "Sir..."

Xiahou Yu came back to his senses: "Go buy some food."

Xiao Xian was stunned for a moment, then stood up and replied, "Yes."

"Wait." Xiahou Yu called him and Xiao Xian turned around.

"Buy more." Xiahou Yu said, stroking the ribbon with his fingers.

"……Yes."

Yi An upstairs stared at them and couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

The separation between master and servant might be a good thing, he thought indifferently.

Xia Nian went on stage and performed another "Chang'e Flying to the Moon".

She was wearing a lavender dress and her movements on the stage were light and graceful. Many young men in the audience who were familiar with poetry started to compose poems on the spot.

After Xia Nian finished his performance, people did not disperse. Some went to the private rooms to drink and eat skewers, some talked loudly in the hall, and some clamored to see Xia Nian.

Xia Houyu met Xia Nian backstage.

She had removed her makeup and changed into a white dress, looking cool and elegant.

"Master Xiahou." Xia Nian said when he saw it was him.

Xia Houyu looked at her and walked towards her.

"Mr. Xiahou, do you have something to talk to me about?" Xia Nian asked.

Xiahou Yu stretched out his hand, and in his palm was the ribbon.

"Why are you giving this to me?" he asked.

Xia Nian looked at him: "Master Xiahou, don't you like it? I was too abrupt."

Xia Houyu didn't expect her to think this way, and quickly said: "No, I'm just curious why you gave it to me and not to others."

Xia Nian smiled and said, "Because if you tell it to other people, they will misunderstand. Master Xiahou is someone I know, so he won't misunderstand me."

"Is that why?" he asked unwillingly.

"Well... because I'm friends with Master Xiahou." Xia Nian thought for a moment and replied.

Xiahou Yu lowered his hands and lowered his head slightly.

Xia Nian observed him. He pursed his lips and lowered his eyes, reacting the same way she expected.

"I understand." Xia Houyu looked at her.

"Understand...what?" Xia Nian seemed not to understand.

"It's okay." Xiahou Yu turned around and strode outside.

After he left, Xia Nian sat directly on the chair.

She held her forehead with her hand, thinking carefully about Xia Houyu's reaction. Could it be that he liked her? She was quite sensitive to feelings, and judging from Xia Houyu's expression and what he said... it was almost certain.

Xia Nian lowered his eyes and looked at the ground.

She thought of the people who had come to watch her dance, most of whom had family backgrounds. Xia Nian frowned, men are fickle, even if Xia Houyu really likes her, he will still marry a wife and take a concubine after she leaves this world.

Maybe he was just in a whim now and met a girl he had never seen before, and he would not have any feelings for her later.

Xia Nian's lips curled up. Men are not trustworthy. There is no way she could fall in love with someone here.

She stood up and walked outside.

-

As the commander-in-chief, Meng Yin could finally relax a little. She took her things and went upstairs, thinking of taking a rest.

As soon as she turned the corner, she met Gu Huai.

"Brother Gu, what a coincidence." Meng Yin greeted with a smile.

Gu Huai instantly hid the coldness in his eyes and put on a smiling face: "Miss Meng."

Hearing him call her Miss Meng, Meng Yin suddenly remembered her name.

"Do you know that my real name is Meng Yin? I'm sorry, I just said that name casually before, because I just came here and I don't trust the people around me very much." Meng Yin said apologetically.

Gu Huai shook his head and said gently: "Miss Meng, don't think too much. I understand."

Meng Yin breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good! Did you see the dance that Nian Nian performed today? Isn't it beautiful?"

Gu Huai said: "I have seen that Miss Xia has an extraordinary appearance. I have seen many young men from noble families write poems for her."

Meng Yin raised a smug smile on her face, like a little fox: "Our Nian Nian is now the dream of all the boys in Zhaoding City, hahahaha..."

"Miss Meng is really humorous." Gu Huai said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, don't stand anymore, go sit down. By the way, to apologize, I decided to draw a portrait of you." Meng Yin blinked and said.

"Portrait?" Gu Huai was stunned for a moment.

"That's right, come with me." Meng Yin raised her chin and motioned him to go to the room in front.

The two walked over, and Gu Ling, with a different face, walked out from the back room.

She was indeed related to Gu Huai, and it seemed like they had a pretty good relationship. Gu Ling looked cold, staring at the door intently.

That token belonged to Gu Huai, so why did she say it was his?

Gu Ling suddenly thought of something. He turned around and walked downstairs quickly. The moment he left Narcissus Pavilion, he flew onto the roof.

The last scene was seen by Gu Huai. If he knew that Meng Yin claimed his token as hers, he would definitely have been resentful towards her.

And when he saw Meng Yin's expression just now, he obviously didn't realize Gu Huai's change.

He flew to the roof of a building, opened a wooden board and jumped down.

"Lord Gu." When the person inside heard the noise, he turned around and saw that it was Gu Ling, and hurriedly bowed.

"Where is Lu Yun?" Gu Ling asked.

"Lord Lu just went out." The subordinate replied.

"Wait until he comes back and ask him to come to my room." Gu Ling said and turned and went into the house.

"Yes."

He picked up the paper and pen beside him and wrote down what he wanted to tell Lu Yun.

"Keep an eye on Gu Huai."

-

At night, several people celebrated the success of the performance in the hall.

"Now our customer base is solid." Meng Yin said.

"It's just that there are so many people every day, and we are so busy that we don't have much time to rest." Tao Tao pounded his arm, looking very tired.

Xia Nian put down the cup: "Well, that's what I thought too. Let's go hire some people tomorrow and let them help."

"I support it! We can teach them how to do these things directly." Xu Zheng was the first to agree. "Besides, I haven't practiced karate for a long time. I am not good at it anymore. How can I protect you when the time comes?"

"Hahaha, A Zheng is right." Meng Yin supported.

Xia Nian looked at Xiaoman and said, "Xiaoman, do you know if there is a brothel in Zhaoding City?"

Xiaoman raised her head: "Sister Nian, I know."

Xu Zheng asked: "Niannian, why are you asking about this?"

Xia Nian said: "I want to hire those who are forced to be sold to brothels. They have no way out and will be more serious and down-to-earth."

Tao Tao thought for a moment and said, "This can be considered another way for them. Nian Nian, do you think that after we leave, we can leave this shop to them?"

Xia Nian nodded.

"This is great, and I can also accumulate merit!" Meng Yin nodded.

Everyone was amused by her.

"Then I will take Sister Nian to the place where they do the transaction tomorrow." Xiaoman said.

"Okay, Yinyin, come with me. You know how to judge people." Xia Nian looked at Meng Yin.

Meng Yin held the chicken leg in one hand and made an OK gesture with the other.
