Chapter 39 The group of non-eunuchs was confused
“This brother, looking at you, you don’t look like those disgraceful, stubborn and obstreperous sons of a wealthy family. Why do you let someone serve you like this? Shouldn’t you have the poise of a man?”
A clear voice sounded. The two looked up at the same time. They saw two handsome gentlemen standing at their table and were looking at them (LQ&ZZ) with a smile on their face.
Xiao Lianzi looked once at Lin Qing. He didn’t receive any signal from Lin Qing, so, he continued to stand quietly at a side. However, he felt that his Lord’s mood was definitely not good now. After all, he had never seen Lord Qiansui being so docile to anyone before and that scene was suddenly broken by someone…Xiao Lianzi even began to feel pity for these reckless guys.
The two’s appearance was good and their clothes were not bad. At first glance, one would know that they were wealthy and respectable people. On them also hung a graceful aura.
From a glance, one would know that they were children of an official family and didn’t get deeply involved with the world yet.
Being interrupted by these two people like this, Zhao Zimu suddenly lost the mood. She lazily leaned on Lord Qiansui. Lin Qing naturally sensed Zhao Zimu’s mood. Therefore, he looked at two with a gloomy and cold smile. With a soft voice he asked, “What is the surname of two gentlemen? The aura on you look out of the ordinary. Why don’t you sit down for a chat?”
An inexplicable sense of danger passed by. The two thought that it was an illusion. Seeing that Lin Qing spoke to them, they thought that their speech had worked.
One of them said, “This minor one is Qian He. My father is a senior member of the Imperial College Qian Jingmin.” While he spoke, Qian He turned to the other person who looked like a scholar and said, “This one is called Yue Jin and is a student of the Imperial College.”
Qian Jingmin? Didn’t expect that it was a son of an acquaintance. Lord Qiansui nodded. Very well, I have remembered it.
He tapped the rue fragrant slice on the table. Zhao Zimu understood. She used her jade-like fingertips to gentle clip a piece for Lord Qiansui and brought it directly to his mouth. The movement was slow and elegant. If it weren’t for the crowd, she would’ve also pecked at the corner of Lin Qing’s mouth. Her heart felt a bit itchy.
The intimate small movements of the two brushed past Qian He and Yue Jin’s face again. While feeling awkward, they also felt that they were superfluous. Seeing the two being so close, Yue Jin couldn’t help but ask, “”Are the two of you husband and wife?”
This question was tricky. There were countless of beauties in Lin Qing’s residence. It was said that they were concubines, but they were actually gifts stuffed in his backyard by others. If one argued about it, he truly didn’t have a wife.
However, this question poked more at Lin Qing’s heart. This was like stepping on his sore spot.
Unfortunately, Yue Jin still didn’t know his limits and recklessly said, “If you are unmarried, then such a behavior is offending the morals. Not only will people point at you, it is also bad for the reputation of the girl.” The reason Yue Jin said this was because Zhao Zimu’s clothes didn’t look like that of a maid and if they were truly not married, then it would be really a shameful matter.
Lin Qing’s expression was already so gloomy that a storm was about to come. Xiao Lianzi behind him was only waiting for Lord Qiansui to give an order. Then, he would summon the secret guards and let them arrest these two people who acted recklessly and dared to lift Lord Qiansui’s tiger beard.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Zimu who was a very favored beauty in Xiao Lianzi’s eyes, suddenly said, “We are husband and wife. If we aren’t husband and wife, how could I treat him in this way? Since we are husband and wife, I naturally have to treat him well. Gentleman, is really good-sighted.”
Zhao Zimu smiled.
Lin Qing looked at her swiftly. There was a deep flame burning in his eyes as if to burn her.
However, Zhao Zimu didn’t look at him and said to the two people, “Do you still have anything else to ask? However, no matter what, this is still our family’s matter. It is better if you ask less.” Otherwise, beware of getting yourself into trouble.
Zhao Zimu was very sincere. Didn’t you see the face of the one next to me was already almost dyed in red?
She no longer paid attention to the two people who couldn’t understand them. Zhao Zimu took Lin Qing’s hand and left. A faint cold fragrance drifted by. Qian He and Yue Jin could no longer see the back of the two people, but Qian He didn’t know why he felt that the little servant of the two people looked at them strangely when he left. It inexplicably made all his hairs stand up.
—
They had shopped enough this night. Lin Qing thought that Zhao Zimu would go back like this. Unexpectedly, after they took a few turns, Zhao Zimu brought him to another place. This time, Lin Qing’s face could truly go open a dyeing workshop. His face turned from blue to white repeatedly. It changed quickly and the color was not beautiful.
Xiao Lianzi was so frightened that he almost knelt. The secret guards who followed behind them was shocked, trembled in the darkness and they were almost unable to hide themselves.
There was no other reason than that they were standing in front of the largest and best brothel of the entire imperial capital…Lasting Fragrance House.
People were coming and going through the entrance of Lasting Fragrance House. Many children of wealthy families walked in in groups of twos and threes with a smile that they thought were distinguished. Also, those old men, those wealthy men who wore gold and silver and even some people who seemed to be court officials walked in. Although, it was a money squandering establishment and a courtesan spa, but which man didn’t love it?
There were a few girls welcoming people at the entrance. Each one was charming and enchanting. Seduction was everywhere on their body. They smiled teasingly at the passersby to tempt them and attracted a large number of customers. From a distance, one could smell the fragrant breeze coming from there which made people’s heart began to itch.
Lin Qing looked fixedly at Zhao Zimu and waited for her to speak. If she couldn’t give him a satisfied reason, he wouldn’t mind letting her stay a few days in the prison of the Department of Supervision. By then, it would be fine if he kept her company there for a few days.
Zhao Zimu held his hand with both hands and faced him face to face. Her eyes were full of tease and warmth and she said, “Let’s go get some experience. You haven’t forgotten what I have told you, right?”
There was a faint breathtaking charm and flirtation in Zhao Zimu’s eyes and was a complete contrast to her cold face, but this contradiction was very enticing.
Lin Qing had never seen such an enchanting her and he had never seen such a charm from any beauty in his backyard. He only felt that his soul was about to be hooked away.
In fact, Zhao Zimu’s appearance was not bad. It was just that she had never applied more than necessarily cosmetic on her body. Lin Qing had never seen a woman like this.
No matter if it was a daughter of an official family or from a wealthy merchant family, which on didn’t meticulously make-upped their face and took good care of it? Even the girls from poor families would be happy to get a rouge gouache (ancient blush). But the person in front of him wouldn’t . Until now, he had never seen her dress up with utmost care.
In the past, Lin Qing used to intentionally and unintentionally send some things that women would love to her Osmunda Yard. For example, the water-cloud satin that was especially sent as a tribute from the south, the rouge gouache especially made for the concubines and princesses in the palace and also those small exquisite ornaments. However, he hasn’t seen her put more than a few on her. Instead, he had discovered those on the beauties of his backyard.
Thinking till here, Lin Qing’s face that originally had a thin layer of redness because of Zhao Zimu’s action was quickly covered by a layer of coldness. Thinking about this, he realized that it was not him who had most contact with her in Qiansui’s residence. Instead, it was those beauties of his residence!
Moreover, it seemed that she treated those beauties in his residence very well. As long as they asked for something, she would always comply and treated them gentler than him!
Also, that little maid at her side. She (LE) always wound around her (ZZ) and she (ZZ) always treated her (LE) with gentleness, tenderness and indulged her. Only now did Lin Qing became aware that it seemed that there were no women in his residence that wasn’t on friendly terms with Zhao Zimu. Sometimes, they even looked at her with tenderness in their eyes. If she wasn’t a woman….
When Lord Qiansui thought till here, he felt cold all over his body. The gaze looking at Zhao Zimu was very weird. It was like an animal who looked at a treasure that he didn’t want to show other people. It only lacked that he locked her up in a small dark room where only he could see her.
Even Xiao Lianzi not far away could feel the gloomy aura on Lord Qiansui. After he glanced once full of sympathy at Zhao Zimu, he made full use of his skills of hiding in the dark and tried to make himself ignored by others. Ay, although, he was surprised that Lord Qiansui would be so special to another person, but since she was so special, how did she anger Lord Qiansui? Xiao Lianzi even foresaw the miserable ending of this beauty Zhao.
The guards hidden in the darkness also sensed the chillness coming from Lord Qiansui. They looked at beauty Zhao with eyes that they were about to act and were only waiting for one order from Lord Qiansui to rush out and capture beauty Zhao and let Lord Qiansui torture her. This woman was truly too brazen. She even dared to let Lord Qiansui visit a brothel.
Zhao Zimu was also a bit puzzled. Why did the aura on the person in front of her change so fast and so strangely? She obviously felt just now that there were some warm breeze blowing around him. Why did this warm breeze turn cold in such a short time? Also, this cold breeze was gradually turning into a cold wind and even had the tendency to evolve into a blizzard. This was very bad.
Zhao Zimu frowned, kissed the corner of his lips and asked, “What’s wrong?”
She didn’t feel that the reason was because she brought him here because just now, she felt that his aura was still gentle. She didn’t know why his mood suddenly changed. Ay, Lord Qiansui’s heart is even harder to guess than a needle who fell into the sea.
“Nothing, I just suddenly remembered something that needed to be done,” Lin Qing looked at her strangely.
Zhao Zimu looked at his face and couldn’t guess anything from it. She grabbed his hand and walked towards Lasting Fragrance House.
Xiao Lianzi who was waiting to see the miserable end of beauty Zhao was stunned. The guard who were waiting to rush out were also stunned and looked dumbfounded at the two people walking towards Lasting Fragrance House. At the same time, they had the feeling that the world had been broken.
A eunuch visiting a brothel? Also, taking his beauty to visit a brothel? With Xiao Lianzi’s respect for Lord Qiansui, he would naturally think that Lord Qiansui took others to visit the brothel. As for being taken by others to visit, this was invisible for Xiao Lianzi. Was Lord Qiansui showing his prestige to all the men in Great Liang?
Or has spring come for eunuchs? Why did he suddenly fail to understand the world? Xiao Lianzi looked with a puzzled look at a secret guard and saw that that person was also looking dumbfounded at the two people and was also full of doubts about life. Oh, they were people from the Prefecture of Arrest. These guys were not eunuchs. No wonder…
Spring is used to describe everything sexual in Chinese. The staff Department of Supervision were all eunuchs while those of the Prefecture of Arrest were not eunuchs. Xiao Lianzi is a eunuch.Sure enough, Lord Qiansui’s mightiness would even crush real men! Suddenly, unstoppable admiration for Lord Qiansui surged in Xiao Lianzi’s heart. Even Zhao Zimu who dared to pull Lin Qing with here was also admired. The woman of Lord Qiansui could not be underestimated!
Haha, are we really visiting the brothel? This was a must!
