Happy Little Scholar

There was only one young man sitting at this table, and three seats were empty. However, in a place like a brothel, sharing tables was not common.

There were two men in green standing behind the young master. They frowned and took a step forward. Just as they were about to speak, they saw the young man wave to them, then turned back and said with a smile, "Why not?"

"Thank you!" Li Xuan bowed his hands to him. After sitting down, he looked back at him and said, "Thank you, brother, this meal is mine!"

"Then it's time to say thank you..." The young master smiled, raised the wine glass in front of him, and gestured to the two of them.

Li Yi looked around and found that even the layout here was similar to that of Qunyu Courtyard in Qing'an Mansion. There was nothing special about it when he was in Qing'an Mansion, but now it looks very friendly.

When he looked to his side, he realized that something was missing, and asked doubtfully: "Where is Lao Fang?"

When I went out just now, Lao Fang followed me all the time. Why did he disappear in the blink of an eye?

One of Li Xuan's guards also said doubtfully: "The one who was here just now..."

"Forget it." Li Yi waved his hand. He was such an adult and couldn't throw it away. Although his old friend was simple and honest, he was actually as smart as a ghost. He might not know which old friend he could find.

Places like brothels are rarely relocated, especially if they move hundreds of miles away.

Having become famous in a certain place, the girls in the building also have regular patrons. Changing a place means starting a new business and starting over. No one knows what the outcome will be. Not all madams have such courage.

However, Qunyuyuan is different.

"If we hadn't met in Qunyu Courtyard, we would have met under the moonlight at Yaotai." When these two lines of poems spread throughout Jingguo along with the reputation of the Luoshui goddess, a brothel named Qunyu Courtyard in Qing'an Prefecture also frequently appeared in it. Appeared in everyone's ears.

The brothel is a place where talented scholars hang out. If there is anything more famous than a classic poem that everyone rushes to sing, it would be more than a dozen poems.

When he discovered that Qunyu Courtyard had become popular throughout the Jingguo, the Madam of Qunyu Courtyard decisively formulated the next three-year plan, that is, within three years, Qunyu Courtyard would become one of the most famous buildings in the capital.

This was a dream she had when she could still stand on the platform to receive customers. One day, she would show those so-called oirans who looked down on her that my skills are not only in bed!

In addition to other regular services and facilities, the building also has a spacious and bright room dedicated to it. There are portraits of the Luoshui Goddess posted in the room, including but not limited to "Luo Shen Fu", "Qing Ping Tiao" and other praises of the Luoshui Goddess. , poems that have long been circulated among literati and officials for people to appreciate.

Of course, the madam had gone through all the trouble to buy the manuscript of the poem from Zeng Zuimo. Even if he offered a sky-high price, the other party did not agree, so he could only settle for the next best thing and take out the manuscript for rubbing. She printed a copy, but even so, the price she paid made her heartache.

For this reason, the madam did not whisper about the heartless goddess behind her back.

Strange to say, ever since those things were posted, some inexplicable people would stop in front of those rubbings every day, looking at them all day long, neither eating nor drinking, and not allowing girls to accompany them...

Although these people seriously affected the order of the brothel, they were generous with their actions. Even if she offered a price of ten taels of silver, the other party would just throw out the money bag without even looking at her, as if their eyes were on the wall. .

As time went by, the madam let them go. As long as they gave them money, they could watch as long as they wanted...

"Who is the Goddess of Luoshui?" Li Xuan heard this name no less than ten times in just a quarter of an hour since he stepped into Qunyu Courtyard, and asked in confusion: "When did there be a Goddess of Luoshui in Qunyu Courtyard?" "

When the title of Goddess of Luoshui was first given to Zeng Zuimo, Li Xuan was no longer in Qing'an Mansion. Although her fame later spread to Kyoto, her influence in Qing'an Mansion was not as good as that of Goddess of Luoshui. Therefore, the name of Goddess of Luoshui was This was the first time Li Xuan heard the name.

The young master opposite asked slightly in surprise: "Brother seems to be quite familiar with this group of Jade Courtyards, but why don't you know about the Luoshui Goddess?"

"No." Li Xuan shook his head and said: "The Goddess of Luoshui, is she the new top star of Qunyu Academy? What about the drunk girl?"

When Li Xuan said the second half of the sentence, he looked at Li Yi.

"Redeemed." Li Yi said casually.

"What?" Li Xuan was taken aback and even stood up from his seat and said: "Who redeemed it? You redeemed it? Your wife agreed? Your second lady agreed? No, it wasn't in your home either. Seeing her, could it be that you secretly redeemed her and kept her in Qing'an Mansion? That's not right. Didn't your family go back some time ago? You shouldn't have the courage..."

The young master opposite had a slightly stunned expression, thinking that although the person opposite knew Miss Zui Mo, he didn't know that she was the Goddess of Luoshui. It was really strange, and he was even more confused about what he just said.

Li Yi buried his head in his food and occasionally glanced at the young woman dancing on the stage. At this time, ignoring Li Xuan was the right choice.

Seeing Li Yi's silent and sad look, Li Xuan seemed to have thought of something, sighed, and said: "I said when I was in Qing'an Mansion, you should have taken action earlier. It's always hard for a woman to talk about this kind of thing, and Miss Zui Mo may seem weak, but she's actually very strong-willed... It's fine now, someone else made the move first, and it's too late to regret..."

"She redeemed herself." Li Yi finally couldn't stand it anymore, put down his chopsticks and explained.

"Ah, redeemed herself?" Li Xuan's expression was stunned. He preconceived that the brothel girl must have been redeemed by someone else and was still feeling sorry for Li Yi. Suddenly hearing this, he swallowed all the comforting words that followed.

The young man next to him showed a little surprise on his face. He had been in Kyoto for several months and had heard the name of the Luoshui Goddess many times. However, although this group of Yuyuan became famous because of the Luoshui Goddess, no one had ever seen the legendary woman. From the words of the two noble men in front of him, they seemed to know her and had a close relationship with her.

Crash!

Li Xuan was about to ask more details when a girl serving dishes in front of him accidentally tripped and the tray in her hand fell out of her hand, followed by a sound of broken dishes.

One of the guests was hit on the head by a bowl and dish unexpectedly, and the whole body was covered with juice, looking very embarrassed. Even the young man sitting opposite the two people was stained with some vegetable juice.

"Xiaohong, you dead girl, can't you watch your feet? Apologize to the guests quickly!" A brothel manager immediately came over and scolded loudly.

"Damn it, you are looking for death!"

The unfortunate man was stunned for a moment, and then realized what happened. He immediately jumped up from his seat, not paying attention to what the manager had just said. Looking at the girl standing there at a loss, he cursed angrily and slapped her hard in the face.

The girl named Xiaohong flashed a trace of fear on her face, but she did not dodge, but just closed her eyes tightly.

The man's slap did not fall on the girl's face in the end. A young man grabbed his wrist, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't fall.
