“Indeed, sister, if you like it, I can make one for you too.”
Su Qingluo spoke in a cute baby-like voice, her eyes curved into crescents while laughing, extremely adorable.
What she didn’t say was that the wonders of a bamboo flute were not limited to playing melodies.
In her hands, the bamboo flute could be a weapon as sharp as a sword. The sword’s aura could turn into blades, pick flowers out of the air, leaves from trees, and within a hundred steps, strikes the opponent’s pressure points with pinpoint accuracy.
“That’s great! At Mingshui Academy, there’s a dedicated Master who teaches the Six Arts. I was just considering which musical skills to learn.”
Su Ziqin’s eyes sparkled: “If you could hand-make a bamboo flute for me, I’ll learn to play the flute.”
“If sister really wants to learn to play the flute, when we return to Woniu Village, I’ll go with father to the mountains to hunt and look for the perfect bamboo to make sister’s flute.’
Su Qingluo’s eyes brightened. She was worried that she wouldn’t find an excuse to go into the mountains and have fun. With the reason of looking for bamboo, her mother wouldn’t be able to constrain her any longer.
“Hehe, good sister, make a bamboo flute for me too.”
Listening with envious eyes, Su Zixuan hurried over and flatteringly grinned. “Sure, brother, you can have as many as you want.”
Su Qingluo was overjoyed, feeling as if a soft pillow had been handed to her sleepy head. Her great brother had truly found his way back into her heart. “Sister Yu, be careful when making the bamboo flute, don’t cut your hands.”
As expected, when having a proper task at hand, Li Xiu’e didn’t strongly oppose her going out to play, only showing some concern and reminding her with a few words.
“Don’t worry, mother, I’ll be careful. You can have peace of mind.”
Su Qingluo happily agreed, already starting to daydream about returning to Woniu Village, where she could roam the mountains carefreely under the guise of looking for bamboo.
West Alley in the eastern city.
The agency’s clerk brought a family to take a look at servants. When the Matchmaker saw potential business, her wrinkled old face blossomed into a chrysanthemum-like smile.
“Honored guest, rest assured. Our servants have a clean background, and their details are registered with the government. Once the contract is signed, you can take them immediately without worrying about disobedient slaves.”
In the courtyard where the servants were settled, the Matchmaker spoke eloquently, sounding even more pleasing than singing. Su Qingluo had no interest in listening to her drivel and walked around the courtyard, carrying Little Baby.
She soon stopped in front of a little girl about three or four years old, her hair adorned with two delicate pins, looking quite lovely.
The little girl’s right ear was bitten by a mosquito, swelling up like a pig’s ear, unbearably itchy, she scratched it vigorously almost breaking her skin. “Little sister, this sachet is for you. It drives away mosquitoes, so they won’t bite you.”
Su Qingluo took a mosquito-repellent sachet out of her small basket and handed it to her.
“Thank you, sister.”
The little girl, half-skeptical but trusting, took the sachet and showed Su Qingluo a friendly smile.
“Sister Min, you should not casually take things from others.”
Next to the little girl was a woman who, despite her ragged clothes and haggard appearance, still managed to sit upright with a straight back and a graceful demeanor as she gently reprimanded her daughter.
“Mother, it smells good!”
The little girl held the sachet up to her mother’s face, her large black eyes shimmering with excitement.
“Matchmaker, what about that mother and daughter?”
From a distance, Li Xiu’e noticed her own daughter talking to them and was interested in their situation.
“Honored customer, to be honest, it’s best not to deal with those two.”
The agency’s clerk suddenly chimed in, coming over to Su Hu for a whispered conversation.
“Why?” Su Hu was confused.
“The two are relatives of Lord Wei.’
The agency’s clerk spoke very quietly, as if he was afraid someone would hear: “Lord Wei made a critical report to the Empress, resulting in the extermination of his family. Male members were executed, women became government slaves, and nobody dares to touch his relatives..”
