Happy Little Scholar

"There's something not right about Zui Mo today..." Behind the stage, the Madam of Qunyu Courtyard frowned and murmured while listening to the music. "The sound of nature is small" said

When she was young, she was also a very popular person, and she dabbled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Although she has never touched those things again after changing careers, she still has the ability to appreciate them.

There's something wrong with the sound today.

Next to the madam, a woman with pink and phoenix eyes waved a round fan in her hand, glanced down, and said: "Who knows, she is the number one in the courtyard. Even if her piano skills are a little worse, it doesn't matter, there are still so many Bad men are willing to flatter her."

"That's not necessarily the case..." Another woman wearing a pink gauze skirt with a pointed chin said: "Master Qin is holding Lu Qiaoqiao this year. I heard that he has written many poems for her. I wish you good luck early in the morning." I spent five hundred taels of silver on Liu Yiyi, but as for Mr. Xiao..."

He glanced at the woman with pink and phoenix eyes, and said in a sinister tone: "Tell your conscience, he has specified how many times he wants to see you this month. What did you two do in the room? Don't think I don't know..."

"Young Master Xiao likes me, is it my fault?" The woman with red phoenix eyes rolled her eyes, but her tone was full of gloating.

The Young Masters Qin, Young Master Zhu, and Young Master Xiao they were talking about were all the people who praised Zeng Zuimo last year. Without the support of these three people, she might not have been among the top ten courtesans last year.

However, I don’t know what’s crazy about her during this period. She hides in her room all day long and writes and draws. She never sees guests. She even refused the invitations of these three young masters...

Naturally, the three of them were dissatisfied after being deprived of face. These days, no one should be praised, and Zeng Zuimo, Zhang Zuimo and Li Zuimo were missing, so why should they be so sentimental?

"What, what, damn girl, what did you just say? Master Qin, what happened to Master Zhu and Master Xiao? Tell me clearly!" The old bustard's face changed and he asked hurriedly.

"What else can I do? Zui Mo doesn't want to see them. They have already turned to support others. If mom wants to bring out another courtesan, she has to think hard..." the woman with a pointed chin said in a sinister tone.

"Get out of here, get out of here. You're eating everything inside and outside. It's not a good thing for me, right? If Qunyuyuan collapses, you two will drink from the northwest wind..." An angry look appeared on the old bustard's face, and he raised his hand and slapped her fiercely. The two were slapped on the back a few times, and they ran away screaming. When the madam looked down at the figure playing the piano again, her expression began to become uncertain.

Zui Mo is the top star of Qunyu Courtyard and her money-spinner. At least 30% of the guests who come to Qunyu Courtyard are here for her. Every brothel will have such a pillar. If the pillar does not fall, the business of the brothel will improve. prosper forever.

Qunyuyuan can occupy a place among so many brothels in Qing'an Prefecture, not because one of the top ten oirans is here. This is their sign. No matter how good the other girls are, this sign must be It is indispensable. Without this sign, they will immediately become a second-rate brothel.

Mr. Qin is a leader among talented men and has great influence. Mr. Zhu has great wealth and has never been stingy with money. Mr. Xiao's father is a master of generals. If two of the three of them are willing to support him, the position of oiran will be It was very safe. I originally thought that the three young masters would continue to praise Zui Mo, but...

The madam had a sullen face, and her eyes began to flicker as she looked toward the audience.

…

…

"Aren't you going to praise the drunk girl?" After listening to the comments of the people around him, Li Xuan turned to look at Li Yi and asked.

"Forget it, it's better not to get involved in these things." Li Yi shook his head. Every time he threw out a poem, there would be a lot of trouble. He didn't want to get involved in the matter of someone choosing an oiran.

"Just don't regret it. Look at it like this. Miss Zui Mo's position as oiran is up for grabs this year, but that's not a bad thing. If she really is no longer the oiran, her net worth will definitely plummet. If you want to ask her to go back and do it, If you have a concubine, you can save a lot of money, but you have to do it early, because there will be many people watching her. "Li Xuan still believed that there was an unknown affair between Li Yi and Zeng Zuimo. , kindly reminded.

"If you don't have time to worry about whether I can take a concubine, you'd better think more about your princess." Li Yi said angrily, and Li Xuan's face immediately turned bitter.

He was no longer interested in messing around with Miss Liu Er anymore. He stood up from the chair, walked to Liu Ruyi and said, "If you've seen enough, just leave."

Liu Ruyi flicked her wrist, put away the folding fan, threw it on the table, and followed Li Yi out.

Yang Liuqing naturally followed.

Zeng Zuimo walked over with Qin in his arms, and happened to meet Li Yi who was walking out of the cubicle. He nodded slightly, and then walked straight over.

Many people in the hall were whispering.

"It's strange, there don't seem to be many people praising Ms. Zui Mo this year, right?"

"She never accepts other people's invitations. Is it because she has no intention of competing with the courtesan?"

"Yes, Lu Qiaoqiao and Liu Yiyi frequently attend banquets these days. They want to attract all the wealthy businessmen and talented people in Qing'an Prefecture. Even if others don't make such big moves as them, they won't be like Miss Zui Mo. In this way, she doesn't even see the guests. Does it mean that she really doesn't want to compete for the oiran?"

"Haha, this is not a bad thing. Everyone is staring at those courtesans, so it's hard to start. If she is not a courtesan, that is, an ordinary servant, she can be combed with a little money. It's hard to say We can also have a taste..."

…

…

After walking out of the Yuyuan, a cold wind blew in my face, and I became much more sober.

Two more people came out. The handsome young man who was teased by the big man just now glared at Li Yi and ran away quickly with the young man.

Li Yi was stunned for a moment, then looked back at Liu Ruyi and Yang Liuqing who came out, and seemed to understand something.

Then he looked at Li Xuan who walked out of the Yuyuan with a swagger and pretended to be a dandy, shook his head, and was too lazy to say anything more.

The next day, Li Yi saw a large group of people from the Ning Wangfu on the street. Li Xuan's guards rode on horses and walked at the front of the team. The team quickly left the city gate.

This guy finally left. Li Yi felt lonely for no reason. No one could discuss with him how to fly to the sky. More importantly, dog meat hotpot was really delicious...

Yang Liuqing still reported on time every day. Although Miss Liu Er still did not agree to be her master, she would teach her a few moves when she was in a good mood. From then on, the courtyard was often filled with sword energy, and it was impossible to bask in the sun peacefully...

"Master, there are invitations again." Yang Liuqing walked in from outside and handed something in his hand to Li Yi.

Recently, he inexplicably received a lot of invitations, 6 Qiaoqiao, Liu Yiyi, and some names he had never heard of, inviting him to various banquets. Li Yi always threw them aside, and now he has accumulated a thick stack.

This time, it was embroidered on a handkerchief. Miss Ruyun from Yichun Tower asked me to write a poem for her, and the reward was five hundred taels...

This girl was quite rich. She threw the handkerchief aside. I don’t know how they found out about my family. In order to ask for a poem to compete for the title of the most beautiful woman, they used all kinds of tricks. Some gave silver, calligraphy and paintings, antiques, and even some implicitly expressed that they could have a romantic encounter...

There were also people who tried to save the country in a roundabout way. Even Ruyi received a lot of similar invitations...
