Chapter 82 Du Shiniang (5)

The Qin building usually starts to open at You hour. When Bai Lu passed by, the girls in the building were still asleep, and there were only a few servants cleaning the lobby. They saw a goose-yellow collared skirt, When the well-dressed Bai Lu walked in, she froze.

One of the servants who seemed more alert came forward holding the broom in his hand, "Girl, we haven't opened the door yet, did you go the wrong way?"

There was a faint smile on Bai Lu's face, one hand rolled up the handkerchief, and the other gently pinched the sleeve, "I'm here to find Mama Rong, I wonder if Mama is awake?"

Hearing that the beautiful girl in front of him was looking for Mama Rong, the servant's eyes immediately became subtle. He looked Bai Lu up and down, and then said, "Wait a minute, girl." Then he put down the broom and turned to go upstairs.

Bai Lu felt the looks from the other servants who were cleaning, lowered her head slightly, tightened her hand holding the handkerchief, found a seat, lowered her eyes and waited for the servant who came upstairs to reply.

"Miss, drink tea." After sitting down for a while, a servant brought a cup of tea to Bai Lu's hand.

"Thank you." Bai Lu nodded slightly in thanks, but she still sat upright in her seat, motionless.

After a while, the servant who just went upstairs came down, bowed to Bai Lu and saluted respectfully, his tone was much more polite than before, "Mother Rong has already got up, just let the girl go up directly."

"Well, thank you." Bai Lu stood up, then nodded to express her understanding.

The servant bent over, with a flattering smile on his face, "Mother Rong's room is on the far left of the third floor, girl, be careful of the steps when you go upstairs."

This time Bai Lu held up the hem of her skirt and went straight upstairs without answering or paying attention to him.

After Bai Lu disappeared from the second floor, the other servants gathered around the servant who answered. Everyone was curious about the girl's identity and started asking questions.

"Hey, do you know who she is?"

"What a beautiful little girl, she looks quite young, what can I do with Rong's mother?"

"What else can you do? Don't forget what Qin Lou does!"

"Oh! That's it, that's it! It's too noisy!" The servant who answered earlier had a sore ear, and couldn't help raising his voice to stop the others, "Do you know who that girl is?"

"Oh, don't be a fool and tell me! Who is that girl?"

The servant who replied smiled mysteriously, and pointed to the direction of Qinlou's wharf, "Here, have you seen the painting boat parked on the river behind? She is the owner of the painting boat."

Everyone was surprised when they heard this. They didn't expect that it was true that Mama Rong hid a peerless beauty in the boat!
On Bai Lu's side, after going up to the third floor, she walked to the door of the room on the far left, and saw a wooden sign engraved with a rose pattern hanging on the door, she picked it up curiously and looked at it.

"Come in when you're here, why are you standing at the door?" Mother Rong's voice suddenly came from the door, which startled Bai Lu.

"Aunt Rong, I'm coming in." Bai Lu hurriedly put down the sign on the door, knocked on the door, opened the door and walked in while talking.

Rong's mother's room was covered with gauze curtains. Through the layers of gauze curtains, Bai Lu could vaguely see the hazy figure of Rong's mother lying on her side on the bed. "Aunt Rong called Xiaohuai to let me come over because she wanted to talk to Lu'er. What's the matter?"

"Come to my side." Rong's mother's voice was a little lazy, and it was hoarse when she just woke up.

"Yes." Bai Lu replied, then lifted layer after layer of veils, and walked to Mama Rong's bedside.
