Time Travel: Brothel Maid

An overwhelming cheer suddenly drew Xiao Guoer's gaze back to the river.

It turned out that the dragon boat race had already been decided.

"Xuan Se won! Xuan Se won! I won!"

There was another sudden burst of loud cheers from the crowd, mixed with many sighs of loss.

"Oh, I didn't win." Someone crumpled the betting voucher in his hand into a ball in frustration, threw it to the ground angrily, and then stomped his feet hard to vent his dissatisfaction.

Those who bet on the winning boat walked towards Xiao Guoer and Tang Xi happily, holding their certificates and smiling at their faces, to exchange their prizes.

This shed was suddenly surrounded by people.

Fu Qian'an took his sister, who had just finished watching the game, and walked towards the house behind them.

As the dragon boat race came to an end, many spectators gradually walked out of the awning and dispersed in groups of three or five.

There is a lush grassland on the bank of Qingshui River. There are several narrow paths paved with bluestone slabs on the grassland. There are also some palaces, pavilions and temples built for tourists to rest and enjoy, and even burn incense and pray.

After watching the dragon boat race, the crowd dispersed, some visited the park to enjoy the scenery, some stopped to rest, talked and laughed. It was a bustling and lively place.

Coincidentally, Fu Qian and his sister were resting by a waterside pavilion.

After a while, they met Zhou Fangye who was walking slowly. Fu Qian saw that he was only followed by a servant and there was no trace of Yingniang around, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Fangye was not familiar with Fu Qian, and originally wanted to just say hello and pass by him, but he never expected that Fu Qian would be so strange today that he stopped him and said a lot of meaningless words.

Although they were not familiar with each other, he could not just walk away because of the other party's hospitality, so he had to deal with Fu Qi'an's unusual enthusiasm.

Zhou Fangye was a good-looking man with an upright figure, a young talent, like a willow tree sprouting in spring, refreshing to the eyes.

Fu Yaoning sat aside and looked at it secretly. Unlike the blurry view from a distance just now, she only got a rough idea of ​​it.

Now she saw Zhou Fangye's energetic eyes, his fair and flat forehead, his long and broad hands, and his polite manners.

Just now I was only eight points satisfied, but now I am nine points satisfied.

Zhou Fangye was puzzled. He and Fu Qian'an didn't communicate much in normal times. In the past, he had coveted Yingniang's relationship, so the two of them were not on good terms with each other, but they just kept it a tacit understanding and just pretended to be okay with each other.

Why is he acting out of character today, acting so familiar and talking to me endlessly?

"My mother is still waiting for me in the hall. Let's talk another day." Zhou Fangye said as he was about to leave.

Fu Qian'an only said some insignificant words. He was not willing to let him go like that before he could say anything serious. His eyes rolled and a plan came to his mind.

"My mother should be with your mother. Brother Zhou, please help me take my sister over. I have something else to do, so I'll leave it to you, Brother Zhou."

Just now, there were indeed several officials' wives gathered together and walked towards the inner hall.

As Fu Qian'an spoke, he moved aside, revealing Fu Yaoning behind him, and introduced her naturally.

"Brother Zhou, this is my sister, her maiden name is Yao Ning, she is the youngest and most beloved daughter of my Fu family."

"Yao Ning, this is the son of Zhou Yushi's family. He is the same age as me and has a reliable character. If you follow him to find your mother, I won't send you off."

The budding daughter was trembling, delicate, shy, and stood with her head lowered. She bowed and called out shyly, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Fangye was surprised, but he didn't know what to say, so he just bowed and returned the greeting, "Miss Fu, there's no need to be so polite." He raised his hand and stepped aside, "Miss Fu, please go this way."

Fu Qi'an watched the two people walking away. They walked side by side, with a distance of two people's width between them. One on the left and one on the right, their backs had a strange sense of harmony.

If Zhou Fangye really became his brother-in-law, it would not be a bad idea. Then he would have to follow Yao Ning and call him "brother". Thinking of this, Fu Qi'an felt a sense of anticipation in his heart, as if he was finally going to surpass Zhou Fangye.

Fu Yaoning followed Zhou Fangye silently. She walked slowly and occasionally glanced sideways to observe the man next to her. Zhou Fangye behaved politely and did not look at her sideways. He did not show any impatience or frivolity towards her.

The nine points of favorability in my heart increased to ten points.

She thought to herself, he is indeed an upright and decent young man, much better than her brother who is always unruly and only knows how to flirt with other women.

I guess my parents would also like someone like this to be their son-in-law.

Fu Yaoning's mind was completely focused on Zhou Fangye, so much so that she didn't even notice the road conditions beneath her feet.

Suddenly, her foot stepped into a small sunken pit and her body suddenly lost balance.

She was about to fall towards Zhou Fangye, but fortunately the distance between them was not very far. Although Zhou Fangye did not pay attention to the condition of the people next to him, he subconsciously took a step to the side and held Fu Yaoning's shoulders steadily.

Fu Yaoning stood up in a hurry, her cheeks flushed, and she hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean to do that. The ground here is uneven, and I sprained my ankle accidentally."

She is a serious lady from a noble family and he cannot misunderstand her as a scheming and frivolous woman.

Seeing her anxious expression, Zhou Fangye seemed to be ashamed, so he smiled slightly, "Miss Fu, don't worry. I didn't take good care of you and didn't do my duty to remind you. This road has been in disrepair for a long time. It would be better for Miss Fu to let the maid beside you help you walk."

The maid following behind hurried forward to support her young lady.

Fu Yaoning felt relieved when she saw that he did not look unhappy. A decent man like Zhou Fangye should dislike women with improper behavior, right?

She wants to act like a lady of noble character.

However, in just a short moment, Fu Yaoning had already regarded Zhou Fangye as her future husband. She acted carefully and attentively in everything she did. She even put away her usual arrogance and willfulness, and was determined to make Zhou Fangye see her good side and then fall in love with her.

Zhou Fangye had no idea what the little girl beside him was thinking, and he had no idea that their actions had caused misunderstandings in the eyes of others. He just continued walking in silence.

Xiao Guoer looked at the two figures in front of her and gritted her teeth in anger.

They originally came here to find a place to wash their hands, but they didn't expect to see such a scene.

Zhou Fangye, you are really great!
