The lights on the pleasure boat were bright, people were moving around, and the sound of stringed instruments drifted into the ears.

Jiang Si listened with his ear tilted, and clearly heard the boy's slightly frivolous voice: "Only a few young men will be left to serve, and all those prostitutes can get off the boat. There is no place to stand with so many people."

Jiang Zhan's slightly puzzled voice came: "Young man?"

The young man who spoke earlier smiled and said, "Anyway, we are here to drink today, and it will be difficult to drink with a woman present. But if Brother Jiang likes Hua Niang, I will leave two for you."

After hearing this, Ah Man couldn't help but look at Jiang Si.

It turns out that the Second Young Master's cronies are like this. Looking at it this way, they are even worse than Young Master Yu.

Jiang Si frowned and listened to what his brother had to say.

She suddenly felt that her father was too lenient with her second brother and that he should severely punish such a child.

"No, no, just the young waiter will do." Jiang Zhan said hurriedly.

What a joke, he is the kind of person who lives a life of debauchery, he came here mainly because Yang Sheng helped him when he was in trouble, so he did Yang Sheng a favor and had a reconciliation meal with Cui Yi, otherwise he would not have followed them to Jinshui River.

Well, even if you come, it’s more comfortable to come by yourself.

Jiang Si's mouth twitched when he heard this.

What do you mean by "just a young man"? Second brother, you fool!

Soon, several women dressed in fancy clothes walked down from the pleasure boat one after another.

Jiang Si prepared two sets of clothes, one was a dress suitable for Hua Niang's identity, and the one she was wearing was a men's suit.

These days she often comes to the Jinshui River to observe carefully. This outfit is exactly what the young men on the Jinshui River usually wear. It is not the kind of young man who can attract everyone's attention as soon as he appears, but the kind that is suitable for serving tea and pouring water without attracting attention.

The ginger-like face was painted all over, and the originally outstanding eyebrows and eyes became dull, which matched the clothes very well.

"Lao Qin, give me a hand and throw me onto the pleasure boat."

"Girl, what about me?" Ah Man asked hurriedly.

Jiang Si, who was standing on the edge of the boat, turned around and said, "You and Lao Qin stay on the boat and prepare to pick me and the Second Young Master up later."

When the time came, Ah Man was completely worried: "Miss, it's too dangerous for you to be alone on the pleasure boat. Let me go with you. I can protect you if necessary--"

"You're so long-winded." Jiang Si's face darkened. "Too many people will only cause more trouble. I'll be fine. Lao Qin, go ahead."

Lao Qin nodded, rowed the boat closer to the back of the pleasure boat, picked up Jiang Si and sent her to the pleasure boat.

Seeing Jiang Si nimbly climb over the railing and walk inside, Lao Qin's eyes flashed.

He had always thought that the girl was just a weak woman with no power at all, but seeing the girl's agile posture just now, he found it quite interesting.

Of course, Lao Qin doesn't care about these. From now on, he will always stay by the houseboat and rescue the girl as soon as she is in danger.

"Old Qin." Ah Man looked in the direction where Jiang Si disappeared and called softly.

Lao Qin did not reply, but looked at Ah Man calmly.

"Do you think the young lady is going to knock the second young master unconscious and carry him off the boat?"

Of course, Jiang Silai couldn't tell Ah Man the real purpose of coming to the painting boat.

"I don't know." Lao Qin said concisely.

Ah Man stared at the pleasure boat and sighed: "It's really not easy for the girl."

Jiang Si sneaked into the pleasure boat and walked towards the lobby with ease.

She had been to such pleasure boats several times before and was already familiar with their layout.

The lobby was as bright as day, and Jiang Zhan and others had already sat down at the table.

Several waiters with unremarkable features came and went, carrying fruits, wine and meat. Several other waiters in gorgeous clothes sat next to Jiang Zhan and the others, chatting and joking.

Jiang Zhan frowned: "We are drinking, why do we need these people to sit here and chatter? There is no need to spoil the fun!"

It is obvious that Mr. Jiang is an "honest man" who has no interest in male homosexuality.

Yang Shengcai was wearing a gauze purple robe today, which made his face look like jade, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and he had a very good-looking appearance.

Jiang Si mixed in with the waiters serving tea and water, sizing him up coldly, thinking to himself what a beast in human clothing he was.

Yang Shengcai, who was cursed by Jiang Si in his heart, was obviously in a very good mood today. He was particularly tolerant of Jiang Zhan. Upon hearing his words, he immediately drove out those young men who were dressed in glamorous clothes.

Jiang Zhan felt much more comfortable. His already handsome features became even more handsome with a slight smile on his face.

Yang Shengcai's eyes lit up, and he put his hand on Jiang Zhan's shoulder: "Brother Jiang, I also want to thank you for giving me face today. Come, let's have a drink first."

Jiang Si stared at the nasty hand that took advantage of his brother and wanted to pull out a knife to chop it off.

Yang Sheng suddenly felt a chill on his arm and shook his head subconsciously.

Hmm, it must be an illusion.

The upright Second Young Master Jiang did not notice anything wrong at all. He picked up the wine bottle and happily clinked glasses with Yang Shengcai.

After they finished their drinks, Yang Sheng laughed: "I like people like Brother Jiang who are straightforward. Unlike some people who have to make excuses and refuse to drink, they are not presentable!"

In addition to Jiang Zhan, the four young men present were Yang Shengcai, whose grandfather was the Minister of Rites and whose sister was the Crown Princess. One was Cui Yi, whose father was a famous general and whose mother was the Princess Rongyang. The other two young men were the son of the Minister of Rites and the son of Princess Danxia.

These four people together can be considered the top circle among the young men in Beijing, so Yang Sheng was very confident in saying this.

Jiang Zhan smiled: "I also like straightforward people."

Although he thought Yang Shengcai was a bit effeminate at first, he turned out to be quite good after getting to know him. At least he was much better than Cui Yi.

His smile made Yang Sheng even more enthusiastic.

Cui Xu, who was standing by, raised his glass at Yang Shengcai's suggestion and said, "Brother Jiang, I was ignorant before, so I hope you don't mind. Drink this glass of wine, and we'll be friends from now on."

Jiang Zhan was originally the kind of young man who was generous and charitable and had many friends. After hearing this, although he still disliked Cui Xu in his heart, he endured it for the sake of Yang Shengcai, raised his glass, clinked it with his head, and drank it.

The other two teenagers slapped their hands on the table and cheered: "Brother Jiang, you are so nice. We brothers feel like we are meant to be together when we see you. Come on, let's drink this."

Jiang Si watched Jiang Zhan drink one glass of wine left and right, and he was so angry that his teeth ached.

Her stupid second brother should have found a sister-in-law like a tigress to discipline him. If he dares to hang out with these bad friends, he should be beaten half to death.

Seeing that Jiang Zhan's cheeks were red and his eyes were blurry, indicating that he was already drunk, Yang Sheng put his arm around his shoulders affectionately and said, "Brother Jiang, drinking alone is boring, let's try something else."

Jiang Zhan's dark jade eyes widened slightly, with the innocence and curiosity of a teenager: "What are you playing?"

Yang Shengcai suddenly stood up and approached Jiang Zhan, blowing softly in his ear: "You will know soon."

While Jiang Zhan was still dazed, Yang Sheng opened his mouth and gently bit his earlobe.

Cui Xu and the others, including a few waiters, all burst into laughter.
