About a month later, Bobo still hadn't done anything.
Liu Wenyu gradually felt relieved, thinking that the eldest prince had truly considered the matter over.
Liu Ming was forced to kneel as punishment a month ago. After his release, he was placed under house arrest. Liu Wenyu finally released him. This time, Liu Ming was probably punished too severely, and he has become more obedient.
However, after being locked up for so long, he was indeed feeling a bit bored. A perceptive servant suggested, "Young master, I've heard that some nice girls have recently arrived at Chu Xiang Pavilion. Would you like to go and take a look?"
Liu Ming was still somewhat worried.
The servant seemed to sense Liu Ming's concerns and continued, "Young master, rest assured, I have inquired and found out that the railway bureau has a shift system for holidays, and today is not that person's day off."
It means you can go ahead and have fun without worry.
Liu Ming couldn't deny it; he was tempted.
But there's still one question: "Where is Dad?"
"Don't worry, young master, the master is busy today! He probably won't be paying attention to you."
Liu Ming was now relieved: "I'm relieved. Tell the courtyard staff that if Mother sends someone to ask, they should tell them that I'm resting early tonight."
"Young master, please rest assured, this servant will make all the necessary preparations so that you can have a worry-free time and enjoy yourself."
Liu Ming was satisfied.
That evening, Liu Ming ate some food and then secretly left through a side door. With someone covering for him, his departure went very smoothly.
Chu Xiang Pavilion was bustling with activity at the moment. Liu Ming was a regular customer, and the madam recognized him as soon as he appeared. She quickly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Isn't this Young Master Liu? You've finally arrived! It's been so long since we've seen you. The girls at Chu Xiang Pavilion have been missing you!"
Liu Ming smiled and said, "Jin Fu."
Jin Fu immediately understood, took out some silver and handed it to the madam, who smiled even more happily.
"Young Master Liu, which young lady would you like to accompany you today?"
Liu Ming: "I've heard that quite a few new things have arrived recently."
The madam said, "Young Master Liu is truly resourceful. You've come at the perfect time. Our Chu Xiang Pavilion is having an auction tonight. Just wait here, young master. Or, shall I have someone prepare a private room upstairs and have someone serve you?"
Liu Ming became interested and said, "Let's do it your way."
The madam said in a high-pitched voice, "Fang'er, Yun'er, come quickly and serve Young Master Liu well."
"You're here, Mom."
Soon two girls came over, each taking Liu Ming's arm and leading him upstairs to a private room.
As night fell, Chu Xiang Pavilion became even more lively. Upstairs and downstairs, people in brocade robes and jade belts, exuding the fragrance of cosmetics, made Chu Xiang Pavilion appear even more decadent.
The lobby downstairs at Chu Xiang Pavilion suddenly fell silent. Mama Hong, the madam of Chu Xiang Pavilion, swayed her hips as she walked to the center of the lobby and announced, "Gentlemen, several new girls have arrived at Chu Xiang Pavilion today. It will be their performance time soon. After the performance, whichever gentleman wishes to spend a pleasant evening with a particular girl will be able to do so by being the most generous. Next, please welcome Miss Qiu Xia to come up and perform a song for you gentlemen."
After Hong Mama finished speaking, she swayed her waist and went downstairs again. A girl dressed in emerald green came out. This girl was Qiuxia.
Qiuxia stepped onto the stage, bowed to the crowd, and said softly, "Qiuxia greets all gentlemen. I am sorry to make a fool of myself in front of you."
As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of string and wind instruments began to play, and the young lady Qiuxia began to sing a song.
Her voice was incredibly soft and charming, and her figure was also exceptionally beautiful, with a slender waist that could be encircled with one hand. When she sang, she looked at the audience with seductive eyes, making them feel as if they had been struck by a spell.
"This girl has a good voice and a good figure." Liu Ming, who frequented brothels, had some experience and immediately blurted out.
Fang'er and Yun'er glared at him, and Fang'er spoke first: "Young master, I'm getting jealous!"
Liu Ming chuckled, kissed Fang'er on the cheek, and said, "Our Fang'er is also very good, especially at night."
Fang'er blushed and said, "I'm glad you like it, young master."
Yun'er also said, "Young master, I want some too."
Liu Ming kissed Yun'er and said, "So stingy, you're such a jealous person."
"Young Master~"
The music downstairs hadn't stopped, which Liu Ming found quite interesting. However, his father had been keeping a close eye on him lately. He could go out for a night, but if he wanted to take a picture of one of the girls, he probably wouldn't be able to, so he didn't plan to join in.
Listening to the little tune and joking with the two girls, Fang'er and Yun'er, he felt quite at ease.
At this moment, Liu Ming's servant came in and whispered to Liu Ming, "Young Master, Second Young Master Guo has also come today."
Liu Ming was somewhat skeptical: "Why would that bookworm come here? Isn't he just a bookworm who only knows how to read all day? He used to look down on places like this. Are you sure?"
"This servant is certain, and will not mistake him. What do you think he is asking about?"
Liu Ming and Guo Shu were not on good terms. The Guo family was a relatively well-off family in Jinghai County. Guo Shu's uncle was an official in another place, and his official position was much higher than that of the county magistrate. Even if Liu Ming wanted to bully others, he wouldn't dare to do so to the Guo family.
The reason why the two didn't get along was quite simple: Liu Ming was a poor student, while Guo Shu was a top student. Liu Ming indulged in all sorts of fun and games, while Guo Shu cultivated his character and was a true gentleman. They studied at the same academy, even though one was in Class A and the other in Class D. Liu Ming heard a lot of gossip and developed a grudge against Guo Shu, so naturally he was unfriendly towards her.
"Go and find out what he's doing here."
"This servant understands."
Outside, Guo Shu frowned as she watched the scene, feeling extremely displeased.
"Young Master, if you don't like it, you don't have to go. I don't think the young master would dare to do anything about it."
