Chapter 616: Pipa Competition

As soon as Xu Xi sat down next to Xu Miaomiao, Xu Miaomiao immediately brought the pastry in her hand to her and placed it in front of her.

"Mrs. Xu, my brother Lu is very good at writing poetry."

When Wan Qingyu said this, there was still a hint of pride in his heart as he looked at Xu Xi and smelled it.

For some reason, the scene just now suddenly appeared in his mind. Xu Xi blushed and lowered his head, and hummed softly.

"I think Miss Xu and my brother Wan are a good match. They are both gentle and demure."

"Brother Wan! Don't talk nonsense."

When Lu Yun heard this, he became a little anxious, and immediately looked at the woman next to him with some concern.

Xu Xi also lowered her head, her cheeks suddenly blushed, and she looked at them with some embarrassment.

This scene was naturally seen by Xu Miaomiao who was standing next to them. Seeing their appearance, she smiled and said, "Are you two native Nanjiang people?"

“It’s natural.”

Wan Qingyu immediately said, "We are both from Nanjiang. Brother Lu and I grew up together, but Brother Lu is much better than me."

"Brother Wan, don't be so modest. I'm not that great either."

Just as a few people were chatting, there was a commotion outside the door, and soon Young Master Wang walked in with Peony and Shaoyao.

As soon as they came in, Xiao Si immediately stepped forward to stop them and said, "Master Wang, my house is a proper restaurant. It's not good for you to bring a prostitute in like this."

This restaurant is naturally different from other places. Most of the people who come here are literati and scholars who think highly of themselves. Naturally, they don't want to get involved with these women.

Hearing what Xiao Si said, the man was the first to express dissatisfaction: "Since you know that I am Young Master Wang, you should understand that there is nothing I can't do. Get out of here!"

"Master Wang, you are rich, but if you bring a prostitute in today, it will tarnish the reputation of our store. What should we do in the future?"

"You, the shopkeeper, should not refuse a toast and drink a forfeit."

After saying this, the man looked around and smiled when he saw Xu Miaomiao and Xu Xi: "Aren't brothel girls not allowed in? How can they be considered brothel girls? Could it be that because Lu Yun brought them in, you think they are not brothel girls? Let me tell you, she and our Shaoyao are old acquaintances, how can they not be considered brothel girls?"

"Madam Xu and I only saved each other's lives. We have no other private relationship, Master Wang..."

Before Shaoyao could finish her words, the man raised his hand and slapped her hard in the face.

Xu Miaomiao suddenly clenched the fist on her leg.

The man was not satisfied with this and continued, "I came all the way here to find you, not to let you go against me!"

"The shopkeeper."

Hearing the sound, everyone looked over, only to see Lu Yun, who was originally sitting, raise his head, look at them and say: "We are all trying to make a living, these ladies are no different from us, the shopkeeper should not embarrass us."

Hearing what Lu Yun said, the shopkeeper did not stop him: "Since Mr. Lu said so, I naturally agree."

"Humph, Lu Yun's two words changed your minds, where do you think I am?"

The man spoke in dissatisfaction, but the shopkeeper had already turned and left, ignoring him.

Seeing the shopkeeper giving him a cold look, the man walked towards Lu Yun with dissatisfaction, but he set his eyes on Xu Xi and Xu Miaomiao: "If I remember correctly, didn't the two ladies say that they had something inconvenient and went home early? Why are you still here now?"

Xu Miaomiao was silent, and neither she nor Xu Xi spoke.

Wan Qingyu stood up, looked at the man and continued, "Master Wang, the two ladies are our honored guests today, please don't embarrass them."

"Difficult?"

Hearing this, the man smiled in dissatisfaction, pinched Shaoyao's chin and kissed her. After a long time, Shaoyao let go and said loudly: "This is how a brothel girl should be treated, ha, lowly woman."

Just as he was about to leave, Lu Yun stopped him and said, "Master Wang, please apologize to the two Madam Xu."

"You're just dreaming about asking me to apologize like a prostitute." The man straightened his clothes without panicking or complaining, and continued, "Who are you? You want to ride on my head, young master? You say you're noble, but you're just hanging out with these women."

"Master Wang, we two sisters are new here, and we don't want to cause trouble, but you have been insulting us with your words, which is really unworthy of a scholar. Please apologize, Master Wang."

"You, little lady, are not at a disadvantage. You don't take what you said to heart at all. You also promised to play a song for me. How about this, you play a song for me. If it sounds good, I will apologize. If it doesn't sound good, don't blame me for saying what I said."

"Can."

A voice came from the side, and everyone looked over curiously, only to see Xu Xi speaking with a determined look on his face.

Seeing Xu Xi, the man tutted in dissatisfaction: "I've changed my mind. You compete with me Shaoyao. If you lose, this lady will follow me."

The man looked at Xu Miaomiao with lustful eyes. Xu Miaomiao nodded: "Okay, if Master Wang loses, you have to shout that I'm an idiot in the street."

"Did you hear that, Shaoyao?" The man sneered and said to Shaoyao in a threatening tone, "If I lose, you know what will happen to me."

Shaoyao frowned slightly and looked at the people in front of her.

She didn't want to compete with her savior. If her savior was really taken away by this playboy, she would definitely blame herself. But the man in front of her was not someone to be trifled with. She was not like Sister Mudan, who had someone protecting her. If it was really like this again, what should she do?

Shaoyao hesitated for a while, but Xu Miaomiao saw it all. Xu Miaomiao took a step closer while the two were playing the pipa and said, "Don't be afraid, Madam Shaoyao. Just play well."

Xu Miaomiao had heard the piano playing by both of them, so it was difficult to decide who would win or lose. However, if she lost, she still had a way to escape, but she absolutely could not let Madam Shaoyao fall into danger.

Seeing that someone was going to compete in pipa, everyone gathered around curiously, and Xu Xi also smiled at Shaoyao.

Shaoyao started playing first. Although she was a brothel girl, she was extremely talented and her pipa playing was well-known in Nanjiang. Otherwise, the man would not have spent a huge sum of money to invite the famous prostitute from Nanxiang.

With Xu Miaomiao's words, Shaoyao played a song without hesitation.
