The woman nestled in Wan Ming's arms secretly glanced at the legendary young master of the Xie family, and was immediately attracted by his outstanding appearance, even stopping the grape peeling she was doing.
Wan Ming glanced down and saw that the woman in his arms was completely bewitched by Xie Fu. He smiled slyly and said, "As expected of our young Marquis Xie, he can bewitch any woman in anyone's arms."
The woman in Wan Ming's arms, upon hearing his words, was quick-witted enough to know that Wan Ming was displeased.
She quickly averted her gaze from Xie Fu, giggled, nudged Wan Ming's chest, and called out in a clear, sweet voice, "Master Wan."
This woman was quite sensible; Wan Ming tightened his grip, wrapped his arm around her waist, and pulled her into his embrace.
The woman was peeling grapes when he suddenly hugged her, causing her to fall onto Wan Ming.
The women on the boat were dressed very scantily. They were women who did that kind of work. Even if they were once daughters of officials, they had now fallen to this state and had nothing to be coy about.
Wan Ming hugged him, making him lie on top of him with his back to Xie Fu, revealing his snow-white back.
He pulled her up to sit up, and the woman quickly grabbed his shirt to maintain her balance and prevent herself from falling backward.
She wasn't just afraid of falling and losing face; she was even more afraid that if she did fall, this young master Wan Ming would think she had disgraced him, and she would be in deep trouble.
Wan Ming, with his arm around the person, looked at Xie Fu with narrowed eyes and said, "Let me introduce you to my new love, Yue Niang."
Xie Fu smiled, glanced at the expanse of snow-white skin, his expression unchanged, but his tone was teasing, "Nice back."
Wan Ming replied smugly, "Of course."
He doesn't even know whose people he is. Wan Ming's judgment is known throughout the Great Western Liang.
He clapped his hands. "Come out and let Young Master Xie see who can catch the eye of this member of the Xie family. Your Master Wan will reward you handsomely."
A graceful figure walked around the screen in the back hall of the boat, her steps as swaying as a willow in the breeze, towards the front hall where Wan Ming and the others were.
The other young masters from various Xiliang families present, seeing that Wan Ming had held back this trick, all stared with interest at the beautiful figure revealed behind the screen, occasionally glancing at Xie Fu's expression.
Who could blame them for their philandering? Xie Fu always stole the show with his handsome face. Every woman in the brothel was being held in someone else's arms, but their eyes were secretly fixed on Xie Fu.
Now, Wan Ming has meticulously designed this segment. Judging from these vaguely visible figures, each one is top-notch. Wan Ming has really put his heart into it.
Xie Fu didn't react to this, not even glancing at it out of the corner of his eye. He walked to his seat, sat down, and poured himself a glass of wine.
After leisurely drinking two glasses of wine, he noticed more and more probing gazes directed at him. Only then did he casually lift his eyelids to see what kind of tricks Wan Ming had gotten up to today.
The back hall and the front hall were not completely separated; it only took a few steps for the beauty to walk from the back hall to the front hall. However, in order to increase the mystery of the beauty's true appearance, Wan Ming ordered that screens be placed all over the connection between the back hall and the front hall.
The screens are arranged in a staggered manner, allowing the beauties to move around easily without revealing their appearance, and giving those in the front hall more time to imagine.
Qin Fanlan took a swig of wine, laughed, and shouted at Wan Ming, "If you had this clever mind when you were studying, your old man wouldn't have kept you locked up in the mansion like that."
"Studying?" Wan Ming sneered. "Can that bullshit compare to the thrill of riding horses and shooting arrows? Can it compare to the pleasure of having a beauty in my arms?"
Someone drunkenly agreed: "Exactly! My father forces me to consult those bookish, pedantic old men all day long. What do I consult? Now my head is full of classical Chinese phrases."
Qin Fanlan smiled and said, "Yes, we don't have Xie Fu's talents in both literature and martial arts."
"Xie Fu was personally trained by the Xie family's patriarch; who in the entire Western Liang can compare?"
Xie Fu leaned lazily against the soft couch, one leg propped up with his hand on it, and the other leg straight out, looking relaxed and carefree.
He looked up at Qin Fanlan with a cold gaze, which was definitely not friendly.
Qin Fanlan received his gaze, but instead of being angry or afraid, she raised her wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"Oh! Isn't this Miss Miaoyin?"
Finally, a beautiful woman emerged from behind the screen, allowing everyone to see her clearly.
These young masters had been hanging around this area since they were little. They knew exactly which brothel girls had the most beautiful singing voices and the most graceful figures.
The drunken guy squinted at the beautiful young lady Miaoyin who came out carrying a zither, and chuckled, "If my father wants to test me on the Four Books and Five Classics, I really can't recite them. But if he wants to test me on which lady has the most delicate hands, I'll definitely tell him it's the little girl from the Huanhua Tower by the Huai River."
The crowd burst into laughter.
Xie Fu glanced over and saw some genuinely laughing at the words, while others were drinking the wine fed to them by their wives and laughing at the drunkard's ignorance and incompetence. It was a pity that his father was the only son in the family, and the drunkard was his only son. It seemed that the family would have to be handed over to this drunkard in the future.
Others smiled perfunctorily, with a fake smile always on their lips; Qin Fanlan was one of them.
Wan Ming suddenly shouted, "Wait!"
Everyone looked over and saw that another beautiful woman had reached the last screen and was about to reveal her face.
Seeing that everyone's attention had been drawn, Wan Ming waved his hand and said, "Come out."
The graceful figure behind the screen then slowly emerged.
