Chapter 30

Soon, musicians carrying chimes, Yao zithers, Guzheng, flutes, and other musical instruments came in . Great Yan’s traditional music “Yun Shui Jian” played .

The girls danced with the music . Imitating clouds and flowing water, numerous white satins gently swayed with the music . It was like countless butterflies accompanying the music, graceful as dragons and flying like geese . The song was like a flowing stream in the mountains and the dancing butterflies were like fairies . Even their hair was dancing .

Very beautiful! Zi You noticed a girl between fourteen to fifteen years old . Her waist was especially soft . Her dance, unlike others, held a hint of sadness .

The girl’s facial features had character and weren’t particularly beautiful . But there was something abnormally enchanting about her .

Zi You had never seen Cao Xueqin’s character, Lin DaiYu [from Dream of the Red Chamber], or she would have thought this was the living version of her .

Two curved smoky eyebrows, a pair of happy, yet unhappy eyes; a hint of worry on her face from an illness; specks of glistening tears, faint breathing . She was calm like flowers in water . Her actions like a weak wind .

Compared to Wang Yiping’s ample charms, this girl was fragile and delicate . Zi You  wondered who would be better able to entice Mu Ying Rui, that slag man .

Zi You didn’t say anything and watched the dancing, having made up her mind already . Without staring at the girl, she merely flicked her eyes once towards her . “Proprietress, what is the price?”

The proprietress stared blankly, but immediately smiled . “Gongzi, you want all of them? If not, who do you fancy? The price is negotiable . ”

Treating me like a kid to be coaxed? If I really said who I fancied, you would ask for sky-high prices .

Zi You faintly smiled . Her dark pupils held ridicule . She coldly spat out, “The price . ”

The proprietress gnashed her teeth and helplessly said, “Luxiu is 1,600 silvers and the one in red is 1,500 silvers…”

Finally, she knew the sickly Xishi [One of the four legendary beauties of China] was called ZiDai . They turned out to share even the same character in their names . [The “Zi” is the same in both their names]

Among the twenty-two girls, her price was the lowest, at 420 silvers . The reason was, of course, she was sick .

The “Dai” in her name was also the same as Lin “Dai”Yu’s . Both had bronchial asthma, a problem of the lungs .

Zi You bargained to death, speaking about how dangerous and serious the disease was . In the end, it was a bargain at 310 silvers . She successfully obtained ZiDai’s slavery deeds .

Zi You felt that, for that scum Mu Ying Rui, even 300 silvers was a waste .

Zu You changed Zidai’s name to YouLian and took her onto the horse carriage .

After asking, Zi You found out her last name was originally “Shui . ” She was an official family’s xiaojie . Although could not be considered proficient in the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, she was still skilled .

Her father was originally an official in the Shaanxi Province . He was beheaded because of corruption . The whole family was demoted to slaves . Some were killed, some were jailed and some were sold . Her mother died of excessive sorrow on their journey to banishment . She was taken by traffickers and after several rounds of reselling, came to be Chuyao Guan’s Qingguan .

Zi You whispered a lot of words into YouLian’s ears . Finally, she confidently told her, “You just have to do what I tell you . I promise to cure your disease . I guarantee you, for the rest of your life, you would have support in the General’s Manor . ”

Shui YouLian repeatedly nodded her head . Finally, she shyly said, “I will listen to Xiaojie . I will never betray Xiaojie . ”

In the carriage, she found out Zi You was female when the latter reverted back to female clothing . Shui YouLian needed to come up with plans to obtain Mu Ying Rui’s doting and go up against the legitimate wife .
