Otherwise, why do so many scholars like to visit brothels? In such places, you can really get something for free by relying on your talent.
The young man in front of her simply produced a good poem, and Miss Zi Yan personally invited him to a gathering upstairs. You know, many wealthy guests who spend a fortune in this place may not receive such treatment.
In an instant, countless envious, jealous and hateful eyes were focused on Lu Chen. Many people wanted to kill Lu Chen and take his place.
Li Guang's expression was distorted to the extreme. He remembered clearly how he had mocked Lu Chen before.
At first, she said that he was a country bumpkin who only knew how to use money to bully others, but now, even a poem he casually wrote makes Miss Zi Yan extremely impressed.
On the other hand, he just kept claiming that he would spend money to buy poems for Zi Yan. It was really obvious who was better between the two of them.
Facing the envious, jealous, and hateful gazes of so many people, Lu Chen turned to Li Jing with a calm expression and said, "Look, it's not that difficult."
After saying that, he stood up and said with a smile: "How is the consumption upstairs calculated? I didn't bring much money this time."
Upon hearing this, everyone present became even more agitated. Not only did this guy become Miss Zi Yan's lover, he even wanted to get her for free!
Is there still law? Is there still law?
However, Zi Yan smiled brightly and said, "Sir, you are joking. It is a great honor for Zi Yan that you can go upstairs and sit for a while. How dare Zi Yan ask you for money?"
As soon as these words were spoken, many guests' facial features were distorted.
Why! Why can't they get such a good thing?
"Miss Zi Yan, you are confused! How am I inferior to him?"
"Miss Zi Yan, please look at me. I can actually write lyrics too!"
Lu Chen didn't care what these people were thinking. He patted Li Jing's shoulder and said with a smile, "If you have anything to do, go back first. I don't think it will be over for a while."
These words made everyone's eyes burst into flames again, and many people wanted to stand up and ask Lu Chen what he wanted to do?
It's a great blessing to have you as my lover. You don't really want to have something happen with Miss Zi Yan, do you?
In fact, everyone knew that this was impossible. As the top beauties of Nuanxiang Pavilion, Zi Yan would not lose her virginity until she had participated in the Oiran Contest.
Nuanxiang Pavilion has invested so many resources in Zi Yan over the years. If a problem like this occurs, it will be a major incident and people will die.
Everyone watched helplessly as Lu Chen followed Zi Yan and slowly walked up to the third floor. Li Guang, still standing on the first floor, shouted at him, "Boy, you'd better be polite to Miss Zi Yan. If you dare to do anything beyond the rules, I will not let you go."
Without thinking, Lu Chen turned around and gave Li Guang the middle finger, calling him an idiot. After that, he walked into Zi Yan's room with a heartless look.
Miss Zi Yan's room is very elegant, and the furniture in it is also very simple.
The first thing Lu Chen saw when he stepped in was an incense burner with wisps of smoke rising from it.
The faint fragrance in the room should be coming from here.
"Sir, please take a seat." In such a short time, Zi Yan had changed her clothes. Compared with her previous dress, this one was much cooler.
Seeing her current outfit, Lu Chen couldn't help but nod his head. The courtesan still had a very nice figure.
This was Lu Chen's first time being alone with a potential top courtesan, and it was a novel experience he had never had before.
He didn't say anything, just staring at Zi Yan in front of him, which made it difficult for Zi Yan to do anything.
Fortunately, Zi Yan was not the only one in the room. Her maid promptly brought a cup of tea and said, "Young Master, have some tea."
Lu Chen curled his lips as he looked at the teacup in front of him, thinking, why bother with all this nonsense?
"Miss Zi Yan, you're not really inviting me up for tea, are you?"
Even as he said this, Lu Chen was still furiously roaring in his heart: "Come on, let me see the sugar-coated bullets of feudalism. Don't pity me, a delicate flower. Just use whatever you can."
Zi Yan was stunned at first, then smiled charmingly and said, "This young master is really a quick-witted person. Then Zi Yan will speak frankly. Young master is unparalleled in talent. I wonder if you could trouble him to write a poem for Zi Yan?"
Lu Chen was completely confused. This was different from the plot he had imagined!
You called me into your room, and then told me that you just wanted me to help you write a poem?
What’s the difference between this and you asking me to get a room and then talking to me about insurance all night?
Are you pretending to be innocent with me? Sure! Come on, let's see who's more capable!
"Poetry is just a minor art to me. Whatever poem the girl wants, I can write it with a wave of my hand."
Upon hearing this, Zi Yan's eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "If that's really the case? Then I'd like to thank you in advance, sir."
Zi Yan stood up and prepared to bow to Lu Chen again, but a sneer appeared on Lu Chen's lips and he said, "Miss Zi Yan, you and I are not related at all. You can't just get a few good poems from me for nothing, right?"
He is not the kind of dog who just wants to lick a woman. He will not be so happy that he loses his mind just because she smiles at him.
If Zi Yan wants to get good words from him, it depends on whether she can pay the corresponding price.
Upon hearing this, Zi Yan immediately smiled and said, "Please rest assured, sir. I understand the rules. As long as you are willing to write a poem for me, Zi Yan will certainly give you a hundred taels of silver."
Boy, I'm just like that.
Lu Chen looked up and down at the woman in front of him. In fact, you are really cruel.
The tips from those patrons alone tonight must have been over a thousand taels of silver, right? And yet you only give me a hundred taels for a good poem. Are you treating me like a beggar? You're the only one who can do business like this!
"Miss Ziyan, you're joking. Do you think I'm short of money?"
Zi Yan looked Lu Chen up and down for a moment before she smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry for being rude. You really don't look like someone who is short of money."
That's right, everything I wear is a gift from the royal family. If someone like me is still short of money, then there is no one in the world who is not short of money.
Lu Chen really has the confidence to say such things. Now he is doing business with the royal family and the military. It would be a joke if he were short of money.
Seeing Lu Chen's lack of interest, Zi Yan bit her lip in confusion and said, "I wonder what it will take for you to help me write lyrics? I've received many gifts from benefactors over the years. Maybe there's something you'd like. Why don't I take you to have a look now?"
"Forget it, let's do it another day!"
