Chapter 491 Extra Chapter: The First Restaurant in Jiangnan (Part 5)
The man in black went upstairs and immediately saw the courtesan who had removed her veil and was sitting gracefully at the tea table.
Her stunningly beautiful features captivated the man in black at first glance.
"What is your surname, young master?" Qingyi, the courtesan, asked softly.
"My surname is Lian," the man in black said somewhat nervously.
The courtesan nodded.
"Young Master Lian, please have a seat." Qingyi gestured for Young Master Lian to sit down opposite her.
Young Master Lian sat down and waited for Qingyi to continue asking him other questions.
For example, where is your home? How do you make a living? What are your plans for the future...?
To everyone's surprise, Qingyi didn't ask a single question, but simply started brewing tea.
This puzzled Young Master Lian.
Shouldn't the women in brothels find out all about you before planning how to squeeze you dry?
Asking nothing at all...aren't you afraid they'll take advantage of you and then deny everything?
Hua Yueniang really didn't want to ask at all.
If it weren't for etiquette and not wanting to appear too cold, she wouldn't even bother asking what the person's last name was.
Why ask so many questions?
It's just a matter of sleeping together for a few days. We won't see each other again, and the child doesn't need him to support it, nor will it take his surname.
What's the point of knowing so much? It's a waste of brain cells...
Young Master Lian saw that Qingyi simply brewed tea and then brought the brewed fragrant tea to him.
He thought about it and decided to ask the question that was on his mind.
"Miss Qingyi, may I ask you a question?"
"Please speak, young master!" Qingyi immediately looked at Young Master Lian.
Young Master Lian coughed softly, and under Qingyi's gaze, the tips of his ears began to turn red.
However, he remained relatively sober.
"Miss Qingyi, I would like to ask, with so many people admiring you, why did you choose me?"
I've heard that the young lady is proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and her ink and wash paintings are unparalleled.
"I'm just a rough man; if I were to discuss these things with a young lady, I'm afraid..."
Qingyi smiled but didn't say anything. She simply served Young Master Lian a second cup of tea.
Discussing music, chess, calligraphy, and painting? Haha, isn't that just a pure waste of time?
If it weren't for her public image, she would have lit the incense right now.
Look at that waist-to-hip ratio, broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs—it's sure to please...
It wasn't until Young Master Lian had drunk his second cup of tea that Qingyi slowly spoke.
"Young Master Lian, I have a question to ask."
If the Northern Hu invade the Central Plains again, what help can those literati and scholars offer?
Should I abandon my studies and join the army?
Young Master Lian...
Qingyi continued speaking.
"Qingyi's ancestors were once a prominent family in the Central Plains."
When the barbarians invaded the Central Plains, all the young men in the household rose up to fight the enemy.
Qingyi only wanted to find someone who shared her ideals.
"Young Master Lian must be from the North!"
Young Master Lian...
Looking into Qingyi's eyes, which almost melted his entire being, Young Master Lian finally understood why so many people said that Qingyi didn't care about worldly things.
"Miss Qingyi..."
Qingyi waved her hand and poured a third cup of tea for Young Master Lian.
After finishing the third cup of tea, Young Master Lian was completely relaxed.
Qingyi also talked a lot with Young Master Lian.
The charm of Jiangnan, the scenery of the North, and some places I haven't been to yet.
Although Young Master Lian looked young, he had been to many places and told Qingyi many things she had never heard of.
Looking into Qingyi's bright eyes, even the young master was completely captivated.
How could such an extraordinary woman have fallen into prostitution...?
Young Master Lian has already decided that he will redeem this courtesan when he leaves.
It's just silver, right? I'll give you as much as you want!
He doesn't have it on him right now, but someone can go and get it!
As for the brothel refusing to release people?
Haha, he's never failed to take anyone he wanted to take away!
Young Master Lian has already regarded the courtesan Qingyi before him as the most important confidante in his life...
Gradually, it got dark.
The others who were waiting downstairs for Young Master Lian to come down dispersed.
Judging by this, this guy will definitely be staying out tonight...
Everyone sighed.
Who would have thought that the renowned courtesan Qingyi would choose such a person?
Could it be that that guy possesses a special charm that none of them have...?
The hour of Xu (7-9 PM).
Qingyi had already had dinner with Young Master Lian and was chatting about some things concerning the Northern Hu.
The maid checked the time, went inside, took out the original jade incense burner, and replaced it with a bronze one.
Young Master Lian felt even more relaxed as he smelled the newly replaced incense in the incense burner.
"This fragrance is quite nice. Did Miss Qingyi blend it herself?"
“Yes! I’m a light sleeper, so I mixed some calming incense. Doesn’t even Young Master like it?” Qingyi asked in return.
Young Master Lian smelled it and said, "Not bad, very good, not poisonous!"
"like!"
"Does Young Master Lian like this?" Qingyi gently placed her hand on Young Master Lian's shoulder.
Young Master Lian...
