Let me be a concubine? I turned to someone else's arms

"Once, my master accidentally treated the descendant of the female doctor. To thank him for his kindness, he gave me a bottle as a thank you gift. I gave it to Madam Xie, and it was indeed effective after she used it.

So I went to ask that person again, but he said that this thing was rare and there were only a few bottles, so I bought them all at a high price. "

Luo Qin made up this story to make rose water sound extremely rare and precious, and also to confuse Li'er.

Everyone present believed it to 80%, even Wang was surprised.

It was invented by a female doctor, which means that this thing has some basis and can really beautify the skin. The recipe has been passed down for decades, which makes it even more convincing. If it had no effect, how could it have been passed down for so many years?

Li'er was also surprised after hearing this, and thought to herself, could it be that skin care products like rose water have existed in this world so early?

Or is it that Luo Qin is lying and she is actually a time traveler as well?

After thinking about it, she secretly shook her head. The songs she sang when she came here had already exposed her identity. If Luo Qin was also a time traveler, she would definitely come to recognize her. She hasn't come to recognize her for such a long time, so that can't be the case.

Observe again.

Glancing at the expressions of the crowd, Luo Qin signaled to Rufang, who immediately took out the two bottles of rose water that she had prepared in advance and showed them to everyone.

The maid walked over carefully, holding a glazed porcelain vase with an exquisite rose pattern painted on it. The colors were bright and lifelike.

The maid gently placed the porcelain bottle on the table, then slowly opened the bottle cap. Suddenly, a fragrance came to her nose, which was the unique scent of rose dew.

The ladies nearby couldn't help but take a deep breath and feel the fresh air.

Someone picked up the porcelain bottle curiously and carefully observed the rose dew inside. The liquid was light pink, clear and transparent, like a precious gem.

Although they really wanted to try it out to see if it was real, they also knew how precious it was and looked at it eagerly.

Wang smiled and nodded, "Aqin is willing to give out such a precious item as a prize. Aqin is thoughtful."

Luo Qin bowed softly, "Aqin deserves it. It's just a bottle of rose water. It's nothing."

Wang looked at everyone again, "It's not enough to have the rose water as a prize. How about I add a piece of the head ornament I originally ordered?"

"Madam Xie is still very generous!" Madam Wen agreed.

Others nodded.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Wang Shilang smiled and said, "In that case, let Aqin start."

"Yes." Luo Qin responded softly.

Soon the servant brought the zither, spread out the mat, and set up the table. Luo Qin walked forward, knelt in front of the table in full view of everyone, and plucked the strings of the zither with her bare hands.

The young men in the men's seats also looked over. Li'er followed Xie Cheng, looking around curiously with excitement in her eyes.

Great, I got to witness the talent show of those rich girls again. I wonder if something like what is written in novels will happen, where someone deliberately embarrasses others and forces them to make them embarrassed.

The beautiful woman in the sky-blue wide-sleeved skirt lightly stroked the strings of the zither with her jade fingers, and beautiful notes poured out like flowing water.

She has skillful fingering, and every note seems to be given life, jumping in the air, making people intoxicated.

Everyone was involuntarily moved by the progressive music and immersed in the wonderful sound of the piano, intoxicated. Some closed their eyes and listened, while others nodded gently to the rhythm. There was more sincere praise in their eyes when they looked at the girl in the center of the banquet.

Xie Cheng sat upright, looking at Luo Qin with a hint of pity and regret in his eyes.

He had some feelings for Luo Qin, but she was of humble origin and not worthy of him. He never thought that Dalang would not care about her background at all and insisted on marrying her, which made Xie Cheng feel depressed.

Li'er, who was beside Xie Cheng, was also watching Luo Qin intently to see if her behavior had any of the little habits of modern people.

But she was disappointed. From beginning to end, Luo Qin's every move was that of a standard ancient noble lady, and she didn't show any trace of what a modern person should have.

When the song ended, the lingering sound seemed to wake everyone up from a dream. After two seconds of silence, they suddenly burst into warm applause and praise.

Luo Qin smiled slightly, stood up and bowed, with humility in her sparkling peach eyes.

Seeing Luo Qin being so outstanding, Wang felt proud and could hear endless compliments from the ladies around her.

Madam Wen: "Madam Xie is so lucky to have such a talented and beautiful daughter-in-law. Master Xie has good taste."

Another lady also praised: "Yes, he is not only talented, but also filial. The first thing he did when he got the rose water was to give it to you."

The other ladies also said: "I have heard that on the day of the assassination, Miss Luo dared to stand by the eldest master. Such integrity is really rare."

"It's all because Mr. Xie doesn't like women. It turns out that our destiny has not yet arrived..."

Wang smiled from ear to ear amidst the endless praises, and she still said: "It's the children's own choice. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."

Seeing how much Wang valued and loved Luo Qin, those girls who secretly admired Xie Yun and were indignant towards Luo Qin could only suppress their thoughts and praise him continuously.

Luo Qin made a good start, and the girls behind her also tried their best to show their best talents.

At the men's table, Li'er tilted her head and looked at the various beauties in the center of the banquet who were like flower fairies descending, each showing off their amazing talents.

First, a beautiful woman in a goose yellow skirt holds a long flute. Her figure is graceful, and the flute sounds melodious and plaintive, as if she is telling a touching story.

Then, another girl in a lotus-colored skirt played a jade flute. The clear and melodious sound of the flute echoed in the air, making people intoxicated.

There are also girls sitting in front of the piano, plucking the music with their jade fingers. The sound of the piano pours out like flowing water, sometimes passionate, sometimes soothing, which makes people's heart surge.

There were also girls playing the guzheng, the sound of the strings was lingering and the lingering sound made people feel as if they were in a fairyland.

The girls' talent displays were admirable and praiseworthy. Ladies such as Wei, Li and Xi were also secretly wondering which girl was suitable for their sons.

Li'er was very excited at first, but found it more and more boring towards the end.

It's all the same performance, all played in a conventional way. It's okay to watch one or two of them, but after watching more than a dozen of them, it becomes quite boring.

Thinking that the prize was the rose water and a set of headwear.

Headgear, anything the mistress of a noble family chooses to wear, should be very expensive, right?

Li'er was a little moved.

She gently tugged at Xie Cheng's sleeve. Xie Cheng felt it and turned around to look at the people around him. Li'er smiled and whispered to him, "Erlang, can I go to perform?"

Xie Cheng frowned and refused without thinking: "No."

"Why?" Li'er was dissatisfied.

Why is this even possible?

This performance was clearly a gathering of ladies looking for beauties for their sons. Why was she, a prostitute from a brothel, joining in on the fun?

"I want to go too." Li'er refused.

She believed that with her modern talent, she would definitely be more eye-catching than these rigid and conservative girls from aristocratic families. Just like the song "Silk Pulling Opera" she had just sung, who among those present would not praise her?

"Do you want rose water?" Xie Cheng said.

"No."

What she wanted was that headgear.

Xie Cheng didn't know what Li'er was thinking, but after all, she was the one he brought with him, so he comforted her: "Li'er, be good, I will buy you whatever you want later."

Seeing that Li'er wanted to say something more, Xie Cheng stopped her immediately, "This performance is for the ladies of the noble families to choose wives for their sons. Why are you going to participate?"

Humiliating yourself?

She was a slave, and no matter how capable she was, the son of a noble family would not marry her. At most, they would take her home as a concubine.

But now, Xie Cheng has taken a fancy to her abilities and does not want other men to covet her. Naturally, he hopes that Li'er will be more low-key and use any ideas for himself.
