After the eldest lady lost her memory, her exes turned back one after another.

Chapter 7 Asking someone to play the piano
The young man's figure flashed past on the street. Perhaps he saw Shen Qingjia, and the man paused.

When she looked over, Shen Qingjia raised her eyes and looked at Chu You, still doubting in her mind.

Just a moment later, Chu You rode away.

"It's Shen Qingjia! She has restrained herself a bit today and almost didn't recognize her!"

In the past, when Shen Qingjia went out, she would always dress up gorgeously and exaggeratedly, but she was not as simple as today. It's not that she didn't look good, it was just that compared to her bright appearance, being so simple seemed a bit inferior.

A group of friends who followed him asked: "Prince Chu, aren't you waiting for her today?"

"What are you waiting for her to do!" Chu You asked angrily.

"In the past, when she saw you, she would chase after you. If you didn't wait for her, wouldn't you be too ungrateful of her?"

"That's right, she is a beauty after all, how can you bear to let her chase you to the point of disgrace?"

"What do I care about her?"

Although Chu You said this, the horse underneath him slowed down, as if it was walking on the street.

Everyone didn't say anything after seeing through it, they just laughed, and then turned back to look at the beauty in the golden building.

But the beauty turned around and walked into the golden building, not as anxious as before to catch up with her.

"Chu Shizi! Why did Shen Qingjia..."

"What's up with her?"

Chu You turned his head, thinking that the man was coming after him, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Sure enough, Shen Qingjia is a woman who knows how to use tricks.

He is the only one who can control others, and Shen Qingjia's hard-to-get tactics won't work with him!

If she wants to get benefits from him, she can only coax him honestly. When he is happy, he will naturally give her what she wants.

But when Chu You turned his head, he didn't see the girl chasing him as always.

There was nothing behind him, and the people were avoiding him, and no one dared to come forward.

The young master on the side explained clearly: "Shen Qingjia has entered the Golden Tower!"

The smile on the corner of Chu You's mouth disappeared completely.

Everyone felt that the atmosphere had become colder.

Chu You immediately turned around, drove his horse vigorously, and galloped down the street again. Passers-by were once again frightened and fled in all directions.

The young master behind him looked at the Jinlou, then at the young master running in front of him, and said: "This Shen Qingjia is really weird today. He doesn't chase the prince anymore?"

"Didn't you hear that the prince wanted to take her as his concubine but was rejected? I guess it was to avoid suspicion?"

"Perhaps it's hard to get, but you think it has some effect on the Crown Prince!"

"You dare to arrange the prince's affairs, so be careful and beat you!"

"Oh, let's go quickly! If we don't leave, we won't be able to catch up with the prince!"

A group of young people continued to show off and rode away on horseback.

……

"This Chu You is really sick. He goes crazy outside all day long!"

Wei Xinxin pulled Shen Qingjia towards the golden building, then turned to look at Zhang Xiulan: "Zhang...what?!"

"Zhang Xiulan!" Zhang Xiulan reported her name again, "I am from Zhang Yuan's family in the west of the city."

"Oh!"

Wei Xinxin said she had never heard of it.

But she is not bored with Zhang Xiulan.

"You come with us too!"

Zhang Xiulan was a little happy to be invited, but she just took a look at the rich and noble ladies in this golden building, and then looked at her poor appearance, and stopped for a moment.

"I'll forget it, I have something else to do! I'm leaving first, Miss Wei, Miss Shen, we can play together another day."

After saying that, Zhang Xiulan left without looking back.

Wei Xinxin clicked her tongue twice, a little dissatisfied.

Women always have no resistance when it comes to shopping. The two of them strolled around this golden building, which was a fruitful experience, and they were in a particularly good mood when they left.

When they were tired of shopping, they went to Chunjiang Tower, the most famous restaurant in the capital, for dinner.

It's just that it's very lively today, the restaurant is full of people.

"Waiter, are there still private rooms?"

The waiter smiled and said: "Yes, yes, you two girls are lucky, we only have a private room in our store!"

With that said, the waiter led the two of them upstairs.

Shen Qingjia sighed, "Today is really lively!"

The waiter explained: "That's right! The results are released today, and all the students, whether they are in the list or not, are having a banquet." Shen Qingjia didn't understand, "What are the banquets for the students who are not in the list?"

The waiter said: "Let's have a farewell party!"

"No wonder it's more lively!"

There are indeed many students in the restaurant. Some are happy, some are sad, some express great ambitions, and some lament that their future is unclear.

The waiter added: "These restaurants like ours are not really lively. Tomorrow, during the Shangsi Festival, His Majesty will hold a Qujiang banquet in Xingyuan. That will be really lively! Scholars can go boating on the lake and sing and write poems in Qujiang Pavilion. It’s a pity that ordinary people can’t see it!”

Speaking of this, Shen Qingjia was interested, but the Qujiang banquet was held by the emperor for new scholars. All the people who went there were the emperor's relatives and officials. No one in the Shen family was an official, and Shen Qingjia couldn't go.

Wei Xinxin asked: "Do you want to go?"

"I want to, but I can't go!"

Although her family is rich, it is only a merchant's family and has a lower status. How did she go to such a big banquet?
Wei Xinxin also sighed: "My father's official position is too small to take us there! Otherwise... let's go find the second aunt."

"Not so good?"

"What's wrong with this? Let's go with cousin Yijia then! Second aunt had better talk, she will definitely agree!"

Their second aunt Shen Minghua is now the concubine of King Yi.

King Yi was the younger brother of the late emperor. He had fought with the late emperor and had great power, so he was certainly qualified to attend the Qujiang Banquet.

Although their second aunt Shen Minghua was only a concubine, because Princess Yi died early, she was in charge of everything in Prince Yi's palace, and she could also be regarded as the mistress of Prince Yi's palace.

Moreover, Shen Minghua and King Yi are very affectionate and can always talk to each other when they bring their two nieces to banquets.

Shen Qingjia thought for a while and nodded, "Let's go to the palace to deliver a letter another day!"

"What are you going to do some other time?" Wei Xinxin turned to her maid and said, "Xiaoman, go to the palace and ask cousin Jiayi if she has time to come out and talk."

"Yes! Miss!" Xiaoman moved quickly and set off immediately.

Wei Xinxin then added: "Cousin Jiayi doesn't have much faith lately, and I don't know what she is doing in the palace."

"My cousin is the princess, so naturally she doesn't have as much free time as us."

"Okay! We're just the idlers!"

After the two of them had eaten and drank enough in the private room, they began to play some small games to relieve their boredom while waiting for others.

But suddenly the bustle in the building stopped for a moment, and then there was a burst of fierce beatings and scoldings from outside, as well as the sharp cry of a woman.

"what--"

"Why is it so difficult to get you to drink? Who do you think you are? You're just a prostitute, how can you be so arrogant?"

Shen Qingjia and Wei Xinxin poked their heads out and saw a drunk man with a mustache in the hall, grabbing a woman's hair and beating and scolding her.

The woman seemed to be stunned, and the pipa in her hand fell to the ground.

The man with the mustache seemed annoyed, and was still tearing the woman's clothes with his hands, trying to humiliate her.

"do not want!"

The woman fiercely covered her clothes.

The man with the mustache was still cursing: "What are you pretending to be? Aren't you just selling meat when you come out? I will teach you well for your mother!"

The Pipa girl's resistance was of no use. She began to resist and cried for help, but no one came forward to help. The sights around her were like sharp swords piercing her.

……

"Zhou Nan!" Shen Qingjia called from upstairs.

"exist!"

Zhou Nan looked ready to go, as if he already understood what Shen Qingjia wanted him to do, and he would obey at any time.

Wei Xinxin didn't understand her, frowned and stopped her: "Why do you care about this?"

"We are both women, so I feel a little intolerable."

Wei Xinxin disagreed: "She is a prostitute, how can she be the same as us? They have fallen into prostitution, and they will naturally have to suffer the consequences."

Shen Qingjia said: "It's difficult for women in this world. Her resistance must not be voluntary."

"How come you have lost your memory and can't even distinguish this kind of thing? If you help her today, it will be spread that you have a relationship with a prostitute. How unpleasant!"

Shen Qingjia said indifferently: "My reputation isn't good either!"

Wei Xinxin was a little angry at Shen Qingjia: "Don't worry about it! This kind of thing has happened too many times. Are you still taking care of them one by one?"

"Since you see it, you have to take care of it. Even though you are a prostitute, you don't deserve to be humiliated like this!"

Shen Qingjia called to Zhou Nan outside the door: "Zhou Nan, go ask the girl to come upstairs and play the piano for us."

"Yes!" Zhou Nan got the order and quickly went downstairs.

Wei Xinxin saw that all she had said had no effect on Shen Qingjia, so she could only sigh and sulk aside.
