Chapter 120 Yonglefang Yonglefang
"Brother Su - Brother Su - Brother Su, Brother Su, Brother Su..." He Tang shouted in a long voice.
Su Fengzhang felt his scalp tingle and goose bumps all over his body when he heard this. He rubbed his arms and shouted, "Can you please talk properly? If you keep this up, I'm going to close the door and kick you out."
He Tang quickly hugged his arm and continued to shout, "No, no, no, Brother Su."
Su Fengzhang pulled his hand away and said, "Alright, whatever you want to say, speak up quickly, or leave."
He Tang chuckled and asked, "Brother Su, your eyes are getting damaged from studying all day. We need a break, right? Why don't you accompany me to Yonglefang for some fun?"
Su Fengzhang raised his eyelids and glanced at him, then answered bluntly, "I don't have the money, and I don't have the time."
He Tang said quickly: "I'll treat you. I'll take care of the food and drinks. You can stay if you want."
Su Fengzhang found this strange and raised an eyebrow, asking, "If you want to go so badly, why don't you go by yourself? Why do you have to drag me along?"
He Tang sighed deeply and said helplessly, "What's the point of me going alone? I still won't be able to see Liu Xu. But it's different with you, Brother Su. Miss Liu Xu has already said that if you go, she will come out to entertain you personally."
The Liu Xu that He Tang mentioned is also very famous. She is the top prostitute in Yonglefang. Yonglefang is different from ordinary brothels, and Liu Xu as the top prostitute is even rarer to see. Even if ordinary people spend a lot of money, they still have to see her in her mood.
After the competition between the scholars from the north and the south, the reputations of Meng Ting and Su Fengzhang spread. Meng Ting was a well-known romantic and talented scholar, so he had naturally been to Yonglefang a long time ago and was even the lover of this girl Liu Xu.
In comparison, another famous southern scholar, Su Fengzhang, was much more low-key. He rarely appeared outside the Scholars' Building, pretending to be a diligent student, let alone entering the places of entertainment.
The more he did this, the more curious others became, especially Miss Liu Xu from Yonglefang. Last year, she became famous for her cross-dressing role in "Suihuayin" and successfully became the top star of Yonglefang. Naturally, she became more curious about Su Fengzhang.
After not seeing Su Fengzhang for a long time, Liu Xu even asked Meng Ting to pass on a message, saying, "The door has been swept, and I am waiting for you to come."
It's a pity that the flowers have intentions but the water is heartless. Su Fengzhang had no intention of accepting this kindness. Not only did he not react at all after hearing this, he continued to read silently every day and was not tempted at all.
His demeanor made Meng Ting unable to help but ask, "Miss Liu Xu is not only stunningly beautiful, but also incredibly knowledgeable, witty, and understanding. She's a rare good woman in the world. Why don't you go meet her?"
Su Fengzhang said, "I have never met her and we have no friendship."
Meng Ting sighed helplessly and pressed on, "Brother Su, do you really not understand, or are you pretending not to understand? Miss Liu Xu has taken the initiative to invite you, but you refuse to give her face. Isn't that embarrassing for her?"
Su Fengzhang was also helpless and said, "If you don't tell me and I don't tell anyone, who would know about this? Why would I need to give her a way out?"
"Besides, why should I go just because someone else is embarrassed? If I don't want to go, then I don't want to go."
It's not that he is so noble and discriminates against prostitutes. On the contrary, he also feels that the fate of prostitutes is miserable. But this matter should be dealt with separately. He is now fully focused on preparing for next year's Spring Examination and has no time for other things.
After hearing what he said, Meng Ting nodded and said, "What you said does make sense."
But he quickly added, "It's just that the person who invited you is a peerless beauty, not some hideous politician. Brother Su, don't you want to be like the story of a talented scholar and a beautiful woman?"
Su Fengzhang laughed and said, "I'm just thinking about not failing the exam next year, I'm not in a hurry to spread any good stories."
Seeing that he really didn't want to go, and wasn't just pretending to be so proud of his status, Meng Ting couldn't help but sigh, "Among the students I know, Brother Su is the most talented, and Brother Su is the most diligent and hardworking. If you fail the exam next year, I'm afraid there won't be anyone on the list."
The matter passed just like that, but unexpectedly, a few days later, He Tang found out about this matter from somewhere, and came to Su Fengzhang to pester him to go to Yonglefang, trying every means to make him agree.
It’s a pity that Su Fengzhang is determined and it is difficult for others to change his mind. Otherwise, he would have been persuaded by Meng Ting before. No matter how He Tang persuaded him, he was determined not to go to review.
Seeing He Tang's dejected look, Su Fengzhang asked curiously, "Where did you find out about this?"
Logically speaking, no one except the three of them knew that Liu Xu had invited him to Yonglefang. Although Meng Ting was a playboy, he was not vulgar, and he should not talk about such things as a topic of conversation.
He Tang said, "Not only do I know this, everyone in the Scholars' Building knows about it, and they all envy you."
Su Fengzhang raised an eyebrow and explained to Tang, "It was Miss Liuxu who said it herself. She admires Brother Su's talent and character and wants to meet you. It's a pity that Brother Su is only interested in sage books and is not willing to go to a place of entertainment."
Su Fengzhang raised his eyebrows, slapped He Tang on the forehead, and pushed him out: "Okay, I'm really not interested. If you want to go, go by yourself. If you come to bother me again, I'll have nothing to do with you as a friend."
He Tang said with a bitter face: "Alright, alright, I won't bother you anymore, okay? Hey, I just want to draw a beautiful picture of Miss Liuxu, why is it so difficult?"
Su Fengzhang actually smiled: "Wait until you go visit her again when you are in high school next year. I'm sure that girl will be happy to have you draw her a beautiful picture."
He Tang perked up when he heard this. He was obviously more concerned about his painting of beauty than the imperial examination.
Su Fengzhang closed the door and stopped listening to him, saying, "So the most important thing you should do now is go back to study."
As soon as he closed the door, he turned around and saw Su Arong saying in agreement: "Erlang, you were right to refuse. Although Yonglefang is not an ordinary brothel, it is still a place of fireworks. Now is the critical moment of preparing for the exam. How can you go to such a place?"
"My aunt told me before I left home that I should be more careful when I go out, especially not to let these unidentified women get close to me, as they might lead me astray."
Su Fengzhang found it funny when he heard it, and shook his head and said, "It's not a bad thing."
Su Arong said, "Of course not. Erlang, you are young and inexperienced, so you don't know their methods."
"In the past, in Hushan County, there were scholars who had their wealth swindled out by prostitutes. Some even threatened to marry prostitutes. They would do anything ridiculous for them."
Su Arong spoke very seriously, and it was not known whether he had been brainwashed by the Su Zhao family when he was at home.
Su Fengzhang laughed even louder. God knows he had experienced a lot in his previous life, so how could he be deceived by this? However, he also understood his family's worries.
But the words "inexperienced" made him feel a little embarrassed. He really didn't deserve these four words.
Patting Su Arong on the shoulder, Su Fengzhang said firmly: "Arong, don't worry, I know what's going on."
Before he could finish his words, there was a knock on the door and He Tang's voice came in: "Brother Su, Brother Su, please come out quickly. Miss Liu Xu, she..."
Su Fengzhang replied without even looking up: "I told you I won't go."
He Tang shouted, "I'm not asking you to accompany me to Yonglefang, but Miss Liuxu is waiting for you downstairs now."
Su Fengzhang suddenly opened the door and asked in surprise: "What did you say?"
"Really? She's waiting downstairs." He Tang said excitedly, her face flushed. "The rumors are true. Miss Liu Xu is so beautiful that she can make fish sink to the bottom of their waters, geese drop to the ground, and the moon hide in shame. What's more, she is both beautiful and charming."
"What is she doing here?" Su Fengzhang asked in surprise.
He Tang stared at him helplessly: "Of course I came to find you. If you don't go to the mountain, the mountain will be moved to our Shizi Building."
"Brother Su, you have to go down and meet him this time. You can't just hide away from him."
"Let's go." Su Fengzhang said lightly. Since T people have come to his door, he really can't hide away. Firstly, it seems impolite, and secondly, it seems that he is guilty and noble.
When Su Fengzhang was walking down from the second floor, he happened to see the woman downstairs looking up slightly. She was wearing a light green narrow-sleeved Liuxian skirt, and her skin was as beautiful as peaches and plums. She was indeed beautiful.
Hearing the noise, Liu Xu raised her head slightly, revealing a pair of bright eyes that seemed to contain countless deep affections. She bowed gracefully and said softly, "Liu Xu greets Master Su. It has been a long time since I heard your name. Today, I see that you are indeed worthy of your reputation."
Su Fengzhang bowed lightly in return, "Miss Liuxu, you are very polite. I wonder what brings you here today?"
Liu Xu chuckled softly and asked softly, "Master Su, if I have nothing else to do, then I can't come visit you?"
Su Fengzhang raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll go upstairs to practice calligraphy."
Liu Xu's expression paused slightly, and she immediately asked, "Why don't I go upstairs with you and grind it for you?"
Before Su Fengzhang could react, He Tang behind him grabbed his sleeve and shouted, "Brother Su, please agree to such a good thing, please agree to it."
Su Fengzhang frowned slightly, pulled off his sleeves, and said, "I am not used to others grinding, but I am going to waste Miss Liuxu's kindness."
After saying this, he bowed and said, "If Miss Liu Xu has nothing else to do, then Su will take his leave."
"Mr. Su, please wait a moment." Liu Xu shouted with a look of grievance. She originally thought that even if Su Fengzhang was a fool, he would be moved when he saw her beauty. Who knew that he would really be so disrespectful to her.
At this point, Liu Xu was in a difficult position and could only say, "I was once ordered to perform in 'Song of the Year Flower' and have always admired Mr. Su's talent. However, Mr. Su has not produced any new works since 'Song of the Year Flower'. I wonder if I would be honored to invite a script for all the drama fans?"
Su Fengzhang was unmoved by what he heard and politely declined: "Miss Liuxu, thank you for your kind words. However, the Spring Examination is approaching and I have no time for anything else. I can only let you go for nothing."
