Chapter 3300 Jealousy
Ma Run tugged at his sleeve slightly, and Lu Yue pulled it back, raised his head and drank a glass of wine.
Zhao Liulang glared at Lu Yue secretly, then pulled Bai Shan aside and said, "Ignore him. He's just upset. He'll be fine after drinking some wine."
Bai Shan smiled at him and didn't take it to heart.
He and Lu Yue are not familiar with each other, so why would he care about him?
He came here tonight to broaden his horizons. "What is the courtesan in this building good at? What show is she performing tonight?"
"Pipa," Zhao Liulang quietly glanced at the next table and whispered in his ear, "It's mainly because she's beautiful, with eyes that can captivate a whole city with a smile."
Bai Shan was suspicious, "Is it true?"
"How could I lie to you? You'll know when you see it in a while," Zhao Liulang said in a low voice, "That's the true beauty of a woman, extremely charming. It's a pity you didn't come before, otherwise I could let you see it in advance. But now..."
He glanced at Zhou Man obscurely and said in a low voice, "I don't think you would dare."
Bai Erlang came over and whispered, "Is it really that beautiful? Then you..."
He looked him up and down.
Zhao Liulang immediately said, "Don't overthink it. I have the will and the guts, but I don't have the money."
"Tsk," Bai Jilang sat up straight and turned his head.
Bai Shan asked curiously, "How does it compare to Miss Fenghua?"
"Two different beauties," Zhao Liulang said, "One is as cool and pure as a banished immortal, the other is as charming and beautiful as a fox demon. How can they compare, like spring flowers and autumn moons?"
"You've been so generous tonight. After their performance, the madam might bring them up to see you. Then you can get a closer look." Zhao Liulang waved his fan and said, "With your looks, you might even be able to win the heart of Nian Jiao'er."
Bai Shan's forehead twitched slightly, and he asked, "What do flowers represent?"
Zhao Liulang curled his lips in boredom, "Why are you asking me now? Why don't you wait until you receive it?"
Bai Shan: "Hurry up and tell me!"
Zhao Liulang leaned close to Bai Shan's ear and whispered something.
Seeing this, Lu Yue sullenly took a sip of wine, stood up and said, "I'm going out for a walk."
Ma Run quickly stood up and said, "I'll go out for a walk with him."
Zhao Liulang smiled and waved at them, then talked to Bai Shan and Bai Erlang for a while before finding an excuse to go out.
Lu Yue and Ma Run did not walk far, but lay on the corridor and watched the actors performing on the stage below.
Zhao Liulang stepped forward and patted them, his smile fading slightly. "Brother Lu, what are you doing? Didn't you say you wanted to get together with Bai Shan? I brought you here, and you're giving me a hard time like this?"
Lu Yue sneered, "Do you think he wants to pay attention to me? Now that he's so successful, how can he still look down on us old classmates? Liu Lang, don't you see that he's also being indifferent to you? What's so arrogant about him? He's just a child from a low-class family. How can he compare with your Zhaoguo Mansion?"
"Brother Lu," Ma Run pulled him back and turned to Zhao Liulang, whose face was gloomy, and said, "Brother Zhao Liu, that's not what he meant."
Zhao Liulang's face was gloomy. After a long silence, he suddenly sneered and said coldly, "He doesn't want to pay attention to you, but it's not just started now. Didn't he ignore you when you first entered Chongwenguan?"
Lu Yue stared at Zhao Liulang with wide eyes.
Zhao Liulang: "He didn't pay much attention to me when we were at Chongwenguan. If it weren't for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, no, if it weren't for Bai Erlang, we would have ignored each other. If you say he's arrogant, I admit he is, but if you say he looks down on us, his former classmates, now that he's rich and powerful, I don't agree. Ask Ma Run, is Bai Shan that kind of person?"
Ma Run quickly shook his head, pulled Lu Yue aside and whispered, "Our relationship with Bai Shan was just average. When we were in school, the ones who played well with them were Feng Zongping and his friends. Among our group, only Sixth Brother could get along with them."
Lu Yue blurted out, "It's because Sixth Brother is from the Duke of Zhao's Mansion, and he looks down on others..."
He stopped talking, but Zhao Liulang's face had already turned ashen.
However, he was no longer the Zhao Liulang who had been angry a few years ago. So he suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice, "So what do you think? Do you want to drink this wine?"
Seeing that both of them looked unhappy, Ma Run quickly tried to smooth things over, "Drink, drink, drink! Why not? The ladies are still in there. Sixth Brother, you go in first. Brother Lu is just drunk. Let him get some fresh air. We'll be in soon."
Zhao Liulang turned and left.
After Zhao Liulang entered the private room, Ma Run frowned and asked, "What are you doing? Didn't you want to ask Bai Shan for help? Why did you start a scene on the spot?"
"I just can't stand his arrogance."
Ma Run: "It's not the first day he's been like this. Wasn't he like this when he first entered the palace as a tutor? Haven't you gotten used to it after all these years?"
Ma Run looked at him and sighed, "Forget it. With things like this, it's hard to bring it up tonight. Even Brother Zhao..."
Lu Yue frowned and said nothing.
Zhao Liulang entered the private room and saw that they were just eating and chatting, so he said, "Aren't you bored? You're already in a brothel, why are you still chatting?"
He shouted outside, "Come here, call some girls who can play the piano and sing."
He said to Zhou Manle, "Master Zhou, you won't be reluctant to pay the bill, right?"
Zhou Man said: "Order whatever you want. We are here to broaden our horizons."
Madam Zhao Liu said to him, "Then it's right to listen to him."
She looked at Zhao Liulang with a half-smile and said, "He might not be familiar with other places, but he's familiar with every brothel on this street, especially Chunfenglou. He knows it best!"
Mingda asked with a smile, "Why did your cousin-in-law ask your sixth cousin to come?"
"He wants to come, but I can't tie him up with a rope," Mrs. Zhao Liu said. "Fortunately, the money given by the government is fixed. If he wants to come and play, he can do so. He can earn money himself. I didn't give him any money."
Zhao Liulang winked at Bai Erlang and said, "Speaking of this, I want to thank Bai Erlang especially. I wow..."
Bai Erlang covered his mouth and said to Mingda, who was looking at him curiously, "I never come to brothels. This has nothing to do with me."
Zhao Liulang pulled his hand away and said, "I didn't say it has anything to do with you. Why are you so anxious?"
After everyone had been playing around for a while, a waiter brought three girls over, holding a zither and a pipa, and started playing and singing for them.
When the lights came on and the sky outside was completely dark, a burst of music began to sound from below. A beautiful woman walked onto the stage and said, "Dear guests, today is the fifth day of the lunar calendar, the grand day of our Chunfeng Tower's ten-day performance. Today we are honored to have Miss Fenghua from the Jiaofang to perform..."
When Zhou Man and the others heard the sound, they immediately turned their heads to look out the window. The sound was clear, the view was clear, and they could also take in the scene downstairs. Mingda couldn't help but praise, "This location is really great."
Zhao Liulang took a sip of wine and said, "Of course, I recommended it to Zhishan."
Bai Shan bowed to him.
Zhao Liulang returned the greeting, "You're welcome, you're welcome."
