Feng Zejian hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.
Forget it, let's figure out the situation first.
The beautiful figure with her back to the two of them got up and left the room with the door open, glancing at Feng Zejian as she left.
Feng Zejian and A Qing exchanged a glance.
Then Feng Zejian just kept watching.
"Why are you looking at me? The young lady has already left. What are you thinking about if you don't follow her? Silly Aji."
Feng Zejian scratched his head.
"You sent me here, how am I supposed to know what I'm supposed to do if you don't tell me?"
"Why didn't you ask?"
"Wasn't my behavior obvious enough just now?"
"How would I know if you don't tell me?"
"But you still said it, didn't you?"
Aqing was stunned for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed after being tricked by her silly brother.
"Aji, are you looking for a beating?"
"Aren't I your brother? Why are you hitting your brother?"
Aqing has her own set of theories.
“It wasn’t like that when I hit you.”
Feng Zejian was chased and beaten by A Qing.
Honestly, having such a cute and lively younger sister makes even being beaten a blessing.
The two arrived at the window of the young lady that Aqing had mentioned.
The melodious and graceful opera singing drifted out from the room.
That voice is really nice.
Looking out the window, you can see the beautiful profile of a young woman; she has her eyebrows drawn.
"You two, stop outside and come in."
Aqing tugged at Feng Zejian's arm.
"The young lady called us, let's go in quickly."
The two pushed the door open and walked in.
As the beautiful girl was putting her hairpin in front of the mirror, she said, "You two, have you properly learned any human knowledge during the years I've been learning my skills?"
Feng Zejian was somewhat doubtful, while A Qing was quite confident.
"Miss, I've learned it very well, but Ah Ji just can't learn it no matter how hard I try."
"Aqing is great, but Aji shouldn't be discouraged."
Feng Zejian pondered for a moment, then couldn't help but ask:
"Am I not a human being?"
The beautiful girl looked at Feng Zejian with some surprise.
"You're learning really well."
Aqing was also somewhat surprised.
"I didn't realize you were so good at showing off, but it's a pity you still don't know how much 11x11 is."
Feng Zejian's expression was somewhat subtle. Was it really something to brag about knowing how much 11*11 equals?
But for this young girl, it was something to be proud of.
Feng Zejian looked at A Qing.
"What's the story with the young lady's stepmother?"
Aqing frowned.
"Miss is still here. Have you considered her feelings when you ask these questions?"
Feng Zejian also realized that something was inappropriate.
"It seems so."
The beautiful girl shook her head.
"That's alright. My father has been alone for so many years, so it's understandable that he would find someone new. But I'm a little curious about this stepmother."
"I don't know the specifics, it seems like someone brought it over to pay off a debt."
"That's it."
Feng Zejian asked again, "Miss, what's your name? I've forgotten."
Aqing immediately slapped Feng Zejian on the head.
"You've forgotten the young lady's name? I think you really don't want to work here anymore."
"Miss, her name is Hinataya Risa."
Feng Zejian tilted his head.
This seems to deviate somewhat from my memory.
Hyuga Valley Risa, Iwama Valley Risa.
Only her surname changed; did she change it after getting married?
In short, at this point, we can only take it one step at a time.
Kazema then looked at Risa Tani.
"What are your plans for this trip back, Miss?"
"Of course, I've put my skills to good use here. My junior brothers and sisters will be coming soon. We'll form a troupe together and put on a show."
"Is opera singing the kind where a group of people are all painted so white it's scary?"
Risa covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
“You do need to wear heavy makeup, but it’s much better to watch than Kabuki. Since you’re here, I’ll do your makeup.”
"Okay, okay, Miss, you have to do my makeup beautifully."
"It must be beautiful."
Aqing sat down at the dressing table, and Gu Lisha picked up makeup tools and began to apply them to Aqing's face.
The makeup style features prominently black eyebrows, elongated lines at the corners of the eyes, pinkish hues around the eyes, and a fair complexion that doesn't appear overly white, paired with bright red lips.
This was the first time Aqing had ever seen such a novel makeup look.
This makeup takes half an hour to do.
"She's different from those other people, and she's quite good-looking."
Risa Tani also became interested.
"Aqing, let me teach you the orchid finger gesture."
Risa Tani made a delicate gesture with her fingers.
Aqing tried to imitate him, but her imitation didn't seem quite right, so Gu Lisha corrected her.
“Aqing, you’re doing it wrong. It should be like this.”
Risa and Ao were interacting happily.
Chapter 319 We are Miss Risa's dogs
This scene captivated Feng Zejian.
At that moment, footsteps came from outside the room, and Ao and Risa stopped what they were doing.
Because Aqing was wearing makeup, she hid herself and pulled Feng Zejian along to hide as well.
Risa Tani's father walked in.
Risa Tani stood up and bowed, saying, "Father,"
"My daughter, it's been so long, why are you being so polite? It must have been hard for you to travel all the way across the ocean to study your craft."
Risa Tani shook her head.
“How could that be, Father? I’m pursuing what I love, and I’m enjoying it.”
"Risa Tani, you're not young anymore. Your father has picked out a few wealthy men for you, and they're all decent-looking. You should meet them in the next few days."
“Father, please allow me to refuse this.”
"Risa Tani, you're getting on in years, it's time to settle down and start a family."
“Father, I have things I want to do and I don’t want to be forced into marriage too early. Besides, you have a new love. You can have another child with your new love.”
Risa Tani's father was somewhat displeased.
"Risa Tani, these are two different things. I've already made all the arrangements."
Risa Tani's eyes sparkled.
"Father, it turns out you came not to ask me anything, but to inform me."
"Risa Tani, I'm doing this for your own good."
"I think you're not doing this for my own good, but for the Hyuga clan."
Risa Tani's father was speechless for a moment.
“Tani Risa, who do you think you relied on to go so far away to learn your skills? It was me, wasn’t it? It’s not easy for me to support this family all by myself. You have to understand me.”
Risa Tani wasn't buying it, and calmly said:
“Father, I have now returned after completing my studies. When my junior brothers and sisters come, we can put on a show. I will repay you for everything you have done for me, even more.”
“But if you’re in a hurry, Father, I can use the dowry my mother left me to pay for it. What my mother left me is about enough.”
When Risa's mother was mentioned, Risa's father immediately fell silent.
"Don't bring up your mother. I won't interfere, okay? But you have to see those people tomorrow and the day after."
"I understand, Father."
Risa Tani's father left without looking back.
Feng Zejian peeked out from behind the screen.
He realized that Risa Tani was a career-driven, strong woman, a true female lead.
Although his attitude was tough, he also left room for both sides to avoid a complete breakdown in relations. This kind of person is indeed suitable for doing great things.
Aqing came out with a big, painted face.
"Really, why must the young lady get married?"
Feng Zejian was about to say something, but when he saw A Qing's big, painted face, he burst out laughing.
"Ah Qing, you're so ugly, hahaha."
"Nonsense, Miss's makeup looks great."
Feng Zejian clutched his stomach.
"Let the young lady take a look first."
Aqing turned to face Gu Lisha.
Risa Tani couldn't help but shed tears when she saw the mixed makeup on Ao's face.
"Aqing, what happened to you? Your makeup is all messed up."
"Show me your hand."
