Just then, cheers erupted from all around. Zu An looked up and saw that Nan Xun had already started dancing.
Before watching, Zu An was dismissive, after all, in his previous life, watching women dance on Douyin was like selecting concubines, and he had seen all kinds of women.
But after just one glance, he knew he was wrong.
Although those girls on TikTok in my past life did all sorts of fancy things, in the end they were just simply twisting their waists and shaking their butts, which wasn't real dancing.
It was only then that he realized how beautiful dancing could be.
It has nothing to do with appearance, but simply the inherent charm of the dance. It combines the subtlety of a classical beauty with the unrestrained passion unique to brothels.
The tension between movement and stillness, the impact that goes straight to the heart, is truly amazing.
Zu An sighed inwardly, no wonder so many top second-generation rich kids in the capital were so infatuated with her, this woman really had some skills.
Just then, the surrounding audience's emotions surged again, and even the composed Gao Ying couldn't help but clap and cheer.
It turned out that Nanxun's dance moves at this moment showcased some highly difficult movements, demonstrating her exaggerated flexibility to the fullest extent.
The key point is that from beginning to end, her eyes always had that noble and indifferent look, which was not a pretense, but rather her true nature.
Combined with her alluring and seductive dance moves, this noble air evoked a strong desire for conquest.
Feeling the rapid breathing and flushed faces of the people around him, Zu An thought that these people probably already had all sorts of positions in their minds for a crazy output.
After the dance ended, Nanxun bowed slightly to the crowd.
The entire hall was now completely silent, save for their heavy breathing and reddened eyes.
After a long while, someone started clapping and shouting wildly.
After a while, Nanxun smiled at everyone, and the venue naturally quieted down: "I am very grateful to everyone for gracing us with your presence today. Let me first raise a toast to you all."
A maidservant had already brought over a wine cup.
"Miss Nanxun, you're too kind." Everyone returned the greeting, raising their wine cups and drinking them down in one gulp. Throughout the process, everyone stared wide-eyed, trying to see her true face beneath the tassels. Unfortunately, she covered her mouth with her sleeve while drinking, maintaining elegance and mystery.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their faces filled with regret.
The atmosphere became lively, and then the drinking games began.
Everyone perked up, immediately realizing that the crucial moment had arrived.
Although it wasn't explicitly stated, everyone understood that a courtesan couldn't openly discuss such matters, given that those present were all people of high status in the capital. What kind of decorum would it be if a courtesan were to pick and choose them?
But the facts are clear: there's only one courtesan, and it's impossible for one woman to serve multiple men. Tonight, only one person can win the beauty's heart.
But how do we select from so many people?
You can't just set up a ring and have everyone fight, can you?
Although the world today reveres martial arts, arts and culture still flourish in places like brothels.
After all, visiting brothels is a refined affair; it's hardly proper for people to fight and kill here.
Therefore, drinking games came into being, and the content of these games is varied, including drinking games, finger-guessing games, couplet matching, poetry and songs, and so on.
At this moment, Yu Nan, who was in a private room upstairs, spoke up: "Since Miss Nan Xun has a beauty that can shame the moon and flowers, then let's play the Moon-Shaming Order."
As soon as he said this, his companions around him echoed his sentiments, and those in other rooms who were on good terms with him also chimed in.
Even those who didn't get along with Yu Nan had to admit that his flattery was incredibly effective; all the previous attempts at fawning and obsequiousness combined couldn't compare to this.
The others were filled with regret, wondering why they hadn't spoken up beforehand, allowing the woman surnamed Yu to seize the opportunity. Just now, Miss Nanxun smiled at her, and she must be very happy inside.
Yu Nan's outstanding appearance and temperament, coupled with her victory in the first battle, immediately made her the number one enemy in everyone's mind.
Zu An nudged Pei You with his elbow: "What is the 'Moon-Closing Decree'?"
"What? You don't even know about the Moon-Closing Decree?" Pei You asked in surprise.
"Is that so strange?" Zuan asked expressionlessly. "Do you know Douyin, Kuaishou, or Bilibili?"
“Uh…” Pei You thought for a moment, realizing that he really didn’t know, and said with a forced smile, “The so-called ‘Moon-Closing Order’ is that each person takes turns reciting a poem without the word ‘moon’, but the poem must describe the moon.”
"I see." Zu An chuckled. I know this well. I didn't memorize those classical Chinese texts and poems for the college entrance exam for nothing. But if my Chinese teacher knew that I was using the poems he taught me to pick up girls in brothels, he would probably be furious. Wait, no, he might be envious to the point of tears, after all, this is his forte.
At this moment, Miss Nanxun smiled and said, "Since it was Young Master Yu's suggestion, why don't you start?"
Hearing him say that, many others were filled with regret, knowing how many people wanted to be number one. Did Miss Nanxun already have her eye on him because she let him go first?
Yu Nan did not refuse, his face bearing his usual pride, as if he were the only one capable of doing this. Without hesitation, he said, "Jade mirror and silver hook hang obliquely on the evening mountain."
"Young Master Yu is indeed quick-witted; this sentence is very relevant to the topic..." As the host of the drinking game, Miss Nanxun naturally had to make a comment. Her voice was pleasant and melodious, and she praised Yu Nan highly.
Her eyes sparkled, and to others, it looked as if she were gazing tenderly at Yu Nan, as if she were about to throw herself into his arms at any moment.
