After they had just sat down again, the women naturally returned to their respective guests.
“This isn’t a self-introduction, it’s just a monkey show,” Zu’an said dismissively. “Look at Qiu Honglei, she’s all smiles and nodding to these people, but she doesn’t really care about them at all.”
"They all say they've come to the brothel to pick girls to play with, but this scene looks more like the girls are picking them to play with!" Zu An's tone was full of disdain. It wasn't that he had any problem with Qiu Honglei, but he just looked down on this group of men who had never seen a woman before.
This is a disgrace to us men!
Even if she's incredibly beautiful, you don't need to fawn over her like this, do you?
Even if I'm a kept man, I'll still eat my money!
Everyone should learn from this!
Leng Shuangyue was unaware of his inner thoughts and assumed that he was dissatisfied with Qiu Honglei. She glanced at the second floor and explained in a low voice, "Actually, it's not easy for Miss Qiu either. Although she may not care about these people, she basically remembers everyone's name. It's hard for the other girls in the building to do that."
Zuan was taken aback and couldn't help but sigh, "So, to become the most beautiful courtesan, it's not just about being beautiful."
Leng Shuangyue nodded with a sense of sympathy: "That's right. Our line of work is never short of beautiful girls, but becoming the top courtesan is not so easy, let alone someone like Miss Qiu."
Zuan glanced at her curiously: "It seems you're quite familiar with this Qiu Honglei."
"We're not that familiar," Leng Shuangyue hurriedly explained, "but since we live in the same building, we see each other all the time, so we're bound to hear some news."
"Oh." Zu'an didn't think much of it. "By the way, since you're from the same building, you must know quite a bit about her, right? Tell me about it."
"I don't actually know much... I wonder what you want to ask, young master?" Seeing that he was no longer bothering her to study the structure of the body, Leng Shuangyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But I'm afraid he'll remember later, so if I can distract him by answering questions, that would be exactly what I want.
As for some questions that couldn't be answered, she simply said she didn't know.
“You definitely know the answer to what I’m asking,” Zuan laughed, “Did she have a boyfriend before, right?”
"Boyfriend?" Leng Shuangyue blinked, not quite understanding at first.
“He’s my lover,” Zuan explained.
"Of course not, Miss Qiu is a well-known courtesan, how could she have a lover?" Leng Shuangyue was startled and hurriedly waved her hand.
"Don't be afraid, it's just the two of us here, so we're not worried about affecting her reputation." Zu An was still somewhat skeptical.
Leng Shuangyue hurriedly said, "No, I swear on my life, Miss Qiu has never had a lover, and she has always been a virgin..."
"Really?" Zuan couldn't help but glance at the beautiful figure on the second floor. This was rather strange.
At this moment, Pei Mianman on the second floor was observing the scene below. When she noticed the ugly behavior of the men vying to fawn over her, she secretly felt contempt.
No man is any good; they only deserve to be played by women.
Suddenly, a thought struck her, and she turned to look for another figure.
Seeing that Zuan was sitting there leisurely, instead of running off to embarrass himself like the others, he nodded in satisfaction.
"He didn't embarrass Chu Yan, unlike those ignorant and slovenly men."
However, her smile had only just begun when she suddenly noticed Leng Shuangyue peeling grapes and feeding him one by one.
Zuan ate with his mouth full of juice, but he didn't forget to tease her, making her tremble with excitement.
Pei Mianman's smile turned cold, and she snorted:
"Men are all the same, none of them are any good!"
At this moment, Qiu Honglei parted her lips slightly: "Thank you all for your kindness, but I feel that my zither skills have recently hit a bottleneck, so I need your guidance to see where the problem lies."
Upon hearing her speak, the previously noisy hall instantly fell silent; no one wanted to displease her.
After hearing her words, they all perked up:
They've arrived!
Everyone had previously speculated that Qiu Honglei would use the music to secretly test everyone and choose her favorite person, and now it has indeed begun.
“Miss Qiu is too kind. I just heard your piece, and the lingering sound truly resonated for three days. Your skill in playing the zither has reached a state of perfection. How could there be any problem?” One of the men, Zhao Dezhu, hurriedly said. He had just been interrupted halfway through his introduction and was looking for an opportunity to save face.
"idiot!"
Everyone had the same opinion: Qiu Honglei was clearly testing everyone, so what was the point of just flattering her?
As expected, Qiu Honglei smiled slightly: "Young master is too kind. However, I would like to hear some specific opinions to make up for the shortcomings."
After speaking, he turned to the others, his eyes filled with encouragement and expectation.
At the same time, she glanced at the private rooms upstairs out of the corner of her eye and sneered inwardly.
