When the lanterns first came on, it was bustling and beautiful.

The nightlife of Qingyue Pavilion has just begun.

Carriages of various colors stopped at the intersection, indicating a prosperous night.

The sound of strings and bamboo strings is heard, like an out-of-tune serenade.

Li Pingan was pulled in by Jing Yu.

"Why... why did you bring me to a place like this?"

"That's a good question. Just drinking is boring."

Jing Yu said.

As soon as he entered the door, he was greeted by a graceful and elegantly dressed madam.

"Hey, Mr. Yang, you haven't been here for a long time."

Jing Yu smiled heartily, "I had something happen a few days ago. I didn't come to your place just after I came back."

"Mr. Yang?" Li Ping'an was confused, "When did you change your name?"

"Nonsense! How could anyone enter a place like this and use their real name?" Jing Yu whispered, "I use my senior brother's name."

After saying that, he smiled evilly.

Li Pingan nodded thoughtfully.

Learned, learned.

The madam approached Li Ping'an and said, "This young master looks strange. Is this your first time here? What do you call him?"

Jing Yu was greeting acquaintances over there and didn't notice this side.

Li Ping'an hesitated for a moment, "Jing Yu."

The madam smiled slightly and said, "Young master, the name is really good."

This wave, this wave is called applying what you have learned.

On the second floor, the table was leaning against the railing.

Just lower your head slightly and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery. It is really beautiful and delicious.

"This place is great!" Jing Yu said proudly.

Li Ping'an listened to the sound of silk and bamboo and felt it was a bit noisy.

But should I say it, the wine here is really good.

If you have three or five close friends, it would be a good thing to have a drink in your spare time.

"This wine is not an ordinary wine. I got it from my teacher after working for half a year.

You drink less, this wine is sweet but intoxicating."

Jing Yu explained.

Within a moment, two girls came,

One is holding a pipa and the other is holding a guzheng. Both are dressed in luxurious clothes.

Dress up beautifully, yet still fresh.

The girl holding the guzheng looked a little shy, and she looked like she had just debuted, and she looked a bit like a lady.

"What music do you two gentlemen want to listen to?"

"Fine wine matches a beautiful woman, and a beauty is drunk." Jing Yu said with a smile.

The sound of the pipa is soft and melodious, soft and sweet.

It makes people enter a dreamlike realm without even realizing it.

It's like honey mixed with oil and rouge mixed with powder.

Sweet and greasy, fragrant and delicate.

The two girls looked at Jing Yu and Li Ping'an.

Jing Yu was dressed in top-notch clothing, and the jade pendant on his body was worth a lot of money.

In comparison, Li Ping'an on the side looked more like a servant.

The girl holding the pipa naturally sat next to Jing Yu.

It’s human nature and it’s inevitable.

The shy girl holding a guzheng sat beside Li Ping'an.

After four or five glasses of wine, it is true as Jing Yu said.

There is a hazy feeling that is flickering and I don’t know why.

Jing Yu was a little drunk, so he took out some reward money from his arms.

It's equivalent to a tip, and the table fee is just a small amount.

Big heads are still a reward for those high-ranking officials.

Jing Yu lay on the girl's lap with a smile on his face.

Jing Yu was a regular visitor and knew the girl.

The girl was not angry either.

This place is no different from an ordinary brothel. Girls don't just pay to sleep there.

What is important is the word elegance.

Although most of them are women from official families, those who have been convicted

But the one behind it is the Ministry of Rites. Anyone who dares to be arrogant here is waiting to be swayed.

The girl who plays the piano for Li Pingan is named Chenxiang.

A few days ago, because my father was convicted and their house was ransacked, I and my mother were sent here.

When I first arrived, life was not easy.

There is also a bit of sadness in the tune.

She knows that if a customer likes a girl, she will reward her with more money.

With money, life with my mother will be easier.

But this guest has yet to pay.

Could it be that you don’t play well, or that your makeup doesn’t look good today?

Chenxiang bit her lip and glanced at the lobby unintentionally.

...........

above the lobby,

A handsome young man was sitting on the table in the hall.

Fair skin and delicate face.

Under the eyebrows that are neither thick nor light, the narrow eyes are like gurgling spring water.

She may seem wild and unrestrained on the outside, but the sparkle in her eyes is undeniable and makes people's hearts beat.

The young master doesn't know his name, but he spends a lot of money.

On this day, I even brought a tortoiseshell bead bracelet inlaid with gold and jewels.

Dazzling and full of treasure, it is truly a rare treasure.

The price of this bracelet is naturally self-evident.

The young man said loudly: "My young master has said that to whichever girl can compose a poem that satisfies the young master today, the young master will reward this bracelet to the girl."

The waiter's voice echoed in the lobby, attracting the attention of many people.

Chenxiang stared at the bracelet, slightly stunned.

I thought, if I could get this treasure...

"I don't have much money left."

Li Pingan suddenly spoke.

Chenxiang turned her head and looked at him doubtfully.

Li Ping'an smiled lightly and said, "You play the music well, but I don't have much money left and I have to go home.

My friend is rich, but he seems drunk."

Jing Yu slept like a pig, snoring loudly.

Not elegant at all.
