Chapter 52: The Treasures of Heaven and Earth Hidden in the Wooden Box (Three)

  Unexpectedly, this bookish person had just gotten up, but didn't pay attention to Zhou Wenbo. Instead, he swung his arm and walked away unsteadily into the distance.

  Looking at the young master in front of him, it seemed that he was interested in this down-and-out scholar. Afraid to leave a bad impression on the young master, Liu's mother began to explain: "This is Mr. Duan Shichen, who was also an escaped young master and took a liking to one of our girls here. He has been infatuated with her every day, but since last month, he has run out of money. We have let him accumulate a large debt, but our Furen Inn can't keep him here for free forever!"

  Just as they were talking, Zhou Wenbo received a reminder from the system that this Furuoyuan had indeed passed the system's verification.

  Discover mid-range brothel - Furong Courtyard, main business: cultural entertainment.

  Effect: Provides 3 points of Life Force and 7 points of Creation Force to the territory under its jurisdiction every week.

  This review far exceeded Zhou Wenbo's expectations, and he didn't expect a slightly higher-end brothel to be recognized as a cultural entertainment venue, which could also enhance the relatively rare creative atmosphere, this is really surprising.

  Since you're here, make yourself at home. Zhou Wenbo didn't plan to go back to Zhoujiazhuang or Junhucun today, and experiencing the layout of an ancient brothel in this Furan Pavilion was also a good choice.

  Then Zhou Wenbo was led by Liu's mother all the way to the second floor, accompanied by Liu Meng, while the rest of the guards remained downstairs on guard.

  After a moment, a row of young women dressed in various colored clothes stepped into the small house one by one, bringing a touch of rouge and powder to this originally elegant living room.

  The beauty of these maids was also impressive, but compared to the few people with extraordinary colors that Zhou Wenbo had come into contact with, they still lacked a bit of charm and natural talent, so Zhou Wenbo didn't have any thoughts of getting close to them.

  Then Zhou Wenbo ordered two elegant-looking women with plain faces to accompany him, and also instructed Liu Mama to find the most skilled qin player among the courtesans in this Furen Hall, so that he could indulge in the refined life of a scholar-official.

  In this era, some tunes have been fixed and widely spread. Zhou Wenbo asked the songstress to sing according to the Song Dynasty lyrics he had copied, using the original tone and flavor.

  The singer's appearance is only mediocre among the row of women, but she has some standards in playing the piano and singing, making Zhou Wenbo praise her repeatedly.

  A song "Water Tune Song Head - Mid Autumn" came lightly in the singer's gentle and charming voice, with a hint of an otherworldly realm. Compared to the rearranged version that Zhou Wenbo heard in his past life, although the lyrics were the same, they had two different flavors, truly an exquisite enjoyment.

  The two women close to him, the slightly plumper one on the left had already leaned in, using her extraordinary charm to try and get the attention of this worldly young master. Her occasionally made seductive movements and enticing expressions made Liu Meng, who was completely immune to such frivolous sounds, swallow his saliva in a straight line.

  However, the petite woman on the right was tense from the start, with a fake smile on her face, and instinctively kept her distance from Zhou Wenbo.

  This made Zhou Wenbo quite surprised, as his current body, under the charm bonus of up to 98 points, even if he didn't deliberately show off, had an extremely strong attraction to women. Why did this courtesan woman seem to be afraid and avoiding him instead?

  Zhou Wenbo turned his head to look, only to notice that the woman's eyes were slightly red, as if she had just cried, and was a delicate and lovely person.

  However, when she realized that the man beside her was not a rough and impatient person, this petite woman was not so tense anymore, and sat down slightly more calmly.

  Soon, the song ended, and the singer sitting opposite Zhou Wenbo's face burst into a brilliant smile, as if she was also happy with her extraordinary performance just now.

  Zhou Wenbo applauded loudly to show his appreciation.

  His way of applauding and cheering was something that a crowd of beauties had never seen before, and the atmosphere in the entire room suddenly turned cold.

  Liu Meng was originally a rough man in the army, and every time he came to the brothel, he went straight to the point, just like a cow chewing on peonies. How could he stand listening to such boring songs?

  At this moment, he finally waited for the end of the song. Seeing the young master clapping his hands, he also followed suit and clapped loudly. His strength was sufficient, and the crisp "pa pa pa" sound quickly broke the awkwardness of the moment, and most of the women covered their mouths and giggled.

  Zhou Wenbo was about to speak, but heard the heavy footsteps "thud thud thud" coming from the stairs, as well as Liu's mother's flustered shout: "Lan Zhi is accompanying a noble guest, Young Master Duan, you must not be rash and disturb the guest!"

  But as they spoke, someone lifted the door curtain and walked in.

  The man was wearing a worn-out brocade robe, which was exactly Duan Shichen who had just been seen at the door.

  At this time, Duan Shichen still wore the same attire as before, but his aura was completely different. Standing upright, he appeared to be at least 1.8 meters tall, looking extremely majestic compared to the crowd sitting on the seats. Without saying a word, he first scanned the room in a circle. When he saw the petite woman sitting next to Zhou Wenbo, his expression changed, and he strode over, pulling the girl into his arms with one swift motion.

  Liu Meng was originally sitting in the corner of the house. As soon as he got up, this person had already snatched one from Young Master's side.

  Liu Meng was shocked, this delicate young woman's master might have already taken a liking to her, and soon they would be together in a romantic tryst. How could he let this guy snatch her away? Enraged, Liu Meng swiftly drew out the Longquan sword from his waist, its cold, icy glow causing the faces of the women in the room to lose their color and shrink into a ball.

  But in just two or three breaths, the originally elegant and harmonious atmosphere in the room had turned into a tense and confrontational one. At this moment, Liu's mother also rushed in, panting heavily.

  "You're a dead man! You've ruined Young Master Zhou's play, you're asking for death!" Just as Liu's mother rushed in, she saw the big Han Liu Meng had already drawn his treasured sword, and was so frightened that she hurriedly rushed forward to pull her own daughter away.

  "Lan Zhi, my dear daughter, hurry up and come with Mom!"

  This girl named Lan Zhi was also quite clever, she saw her loved one had offended the noble-looking Mr. Zhou, and even Liu Mama, who had a powerful background, was scared out of her wits, so she knew she couldn't escalate the conflict anymore, and obediently followed Liu Mama to leave Duan Shi Chen.

  "Oh, I don't know how to explain this, Liu Mama!" Zhou Wenbo closed his fan and stood up. He couldn't be happy about it, he hadn't planned on getting into a fight today, but now he had become the bad guy for no reason. If this were online, wouldn't he just be one of those villains who gets slapped in the face by the protagonist?
