  Vote, I want to recommend vote, brothers fiercely smash it!

  As soon as the men in the hall heard this, they couldn't help but feel envious. It was clear that Qin Xian'er was inviting Guo Gongzi. Such a good opportunity, if grasped, would surely make him Qin Miss's confidant.

  Lin Wanrong gave Guo Wuchang a few meaningful glances, and Guo, being somewhat clever for once, knew that Lin San was creating an opportunity for himself. He hastily stood up and bowed, saying: "As Miss Xian'er has ordered, I, Wuchang, dare not disobey."

  Qin Xian'er smiled and returned the courtesy, then glanced at Lin Wanrong again, a hint of shyness on her face as she said: "As for this little ditty, I'll sing it alone for you, young master. What do you think?"

  Qin Xian'er's eyebrows and eyes were like a painting, her smile carried a hint of charm, as if she was shy, but her eyes were calm as water, without a ripple.

  Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "I'm a rough man, if you have the interest, Miss, please keep my young master company and chat with him for a while. As for this little ditty, whether it's sung or not, it doesn't make much difference anymore."

  Qin Xian'er strolled up to Lin Wanrong, her body close to his, her eyes seeming to gaze at him with a hint of playful expression. Lin Wanrong recalled the tactics she had used before, which had almost made him lose his soul, and hastily moved his body away slightly.

  Qin Xian'er saw his actions and couldn't help but blush, covering her lips with a light smile. Her body trembled slightly, creating a beautiful wave on her chest. She lightly opened her vermilion lips and said: "Just now you were so pressing, yet now you're being so generous, sir, aren't you using the tactic of loosening the reins to catch the horse?"

  Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Miss Qin is a heavenly beauty, how could I dare to play hard to get in front of you? Wouldn't that be ridiculous?"

  Qin Xian'er heard his sarcasm and knew that the matter of using her eyes to confuse him had been seen through. She let out a soft sigh and said in a low voice, "Where am I any kind of fairy? In your eyes, I'm just a courtesan who can't even sing a decent song. If it weren't for this face, you wouldn't have given me a second glance."

  She lightly bit her crimson lips, her eyes gleaming with a hint of resentment, and an air of melancholy that made it seem as if she was coquettishly teasing her lover. Lin Wanrong, however, was crystal clear in his mind - women like these, who worked in the pleasure quarters, took great delight in toying with men; if one were foolish enough to think they had caught this little vixen's eye, they would be sorely mistaken.

  Seeing Qin Xian'er still pretending to be shy, Lin Wanrong secretly smiled in his heart and said: "This is a good piece of music, miss can learn it well. If you don't mind, I'm also somewhat familiar with it. Why don't we further discuss it?"

  This kind of talk is not only frivolous, but has completely fallen into the realm of vulgarity. Qin Xian'er's face turned red, and she gave him a fierce look before turning around and sweeping her sleeves away, going upstairs.

  After Qin Xian'er left, the Miaoyu Fang immediately recovered its bustle from silence. The two sisters beside Lin Wanrong heard this handsome family's words and fell in love with him, directly pushing their plump bodies into his arms.

  Lin Wanrong smiled and said to Guo Wuchang: "Young master, soon Miss Qin will invite you in for a chat, I'll wait outside for you."

  With Lin San's help, the young master's beautiful dream came true, and he was exceptionally delighted. He called out: "Lin San, I didn't expect you to really have a plan. If things work out between me and Miss Xian'er in the future, I will definitely thank you heavily."

  He said he was fat and he just panted, this young master is really ignorant and fearless, but Lin Wanrong likes people who are straightforward and don't have any tricks up their sleeve, although they lack a bit of tact, they make up for it with their candor.

  Two people were chatting and laughing, when they suddenly saw a young man named Luo Yuan walking towards them with a smile. He bowed to Guo Wuchang and said: "Are you Mr. Guo? I am Luo Yuan, nice to meet you, brother Guo."

  Kuo Wu Chang hastily stood up and made a bow with his fists: "So it's Young Master Luo, Wu Chang pays his respects." Although Luo Yuan called him brother, he knew that his own status was far inferior to Luo Yuan's, so naturally he didn't dare to be presumptuous.

  Luo Yuan smiled and said: "I see Brother Guo has a few points of resemblance, as if I've seen him somewhere before?"

  "Last year on the Governor's birthday, my father took me to visit your mansion."

  "Oh, but I don't know your respected father is——"

  "My father was the county magistrate of Ning County in Suzhou," said Guo Wuchang.

  "Oh, so Brother Guo is the son of Mr. Guo, I was wondering why he looked familiar, sorry, sorry." Luo Yuan said with a smile. In fact, he couldn't remember who Guo Quan was at all, but he was enthusiastic and didn't want to say it out loud.

  Mr. Guo felt honored and surprised that the governor's son actually knew his father, he was uneducated and untalented, far from the powerful and influential young masters of Jinling, today seeing the governor's son taking the initiative to chat with him, he was naturally delighted.

  Luo Yuan laughed twice, his eyes fell on Lin Wanrong, and he said to Guo Shao: "Just now I saw this Brother Lin speaking fluently, quick-witted and agile, Brother Guo can teach such a talented person, really making me envy."

  Guo Wuchang hadn't returned home yet, knowing he was interested in this servant of his, hastily said: "Lin San, quickly come and pay respects to Young Master Luo."

  Just now when I was arguing with Cheng Ruiyan, Luo Yuan had helped out. Lin Wanrong had a good impression of him and smiled as he clasped his fists in greeting: "Shaoye's household servant Lin San, has met Young Master Luo."

  Luo Yuan chuckled and said, "Lin brother, you don't have to be so polite. I just think you're a very interesting person and want to make friends with you. If you keep being so formal, it'll seem awkward."

  Although Luo Yuan was the son of a governor, he was approachable and humble, unlike those spoiled rich kids. Compared to Cheng Ruiyan, he was much stronger. Lin Wanrong no longer held back and smiled: "Just now, I should also thank Young Master Luo for speaking up for me."

  Luo Yuan waved his hand and said, "Brother Lin, you're being too kind. I just can't stand some people who don't have any real ability but always like to point fingers and take charge. On the other hand, Brother Lin, you have both courage and strategy, your vision and bravery are far superior to others. I really admire you!"

  He glanced around and then lowered his voice, saying: "What Lin brother said to Miss Qin just now really hit the nail on the head. I'm so angry with myself for not thinking of it earlier. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been the only one to impress her just now, and I would have made sure that Miss Qin looked at me in a different way too."

  Luo Yuan was a straightforward person, and with just two simple sentences, he had already bridged the distance between them. If it were an ordinary person, they would be constrained by their status and wouldn't dare to get close to this young master of the governor's family. But Lin Wanrong was different; he didn't consider himself inferior at all, and making friends with Luo Yuan wasn't a concern for him either. He chuckled and said, "To be honest with you, Brother Luo, I've always thought that no matter how beautiful these women in the brothel are, they're still just prostitutes. These women, if you give them an inch of color, they'll want to open up a dye shop and create all sorts of fancy things, isn't it just to seduce us men? I'm not going to let them get their way. Growing up like this, I've never let a woman ride roughshod over me."

  Luo Yuan slapped the table and laughed loudly: "Wonderful, wonderful, Lin brother said it too wonderfully. This woman, if not beaten for three days, will go up to the house and uncover the tiles. She can't be spoiled."

  Lin Wanrong deeply agreed with this point of view, but Luo Yuan furrowed his brow and said: "However, this Qin Xian'er not only looks as beautiful as a flower, but also has a rare air of arrogance. I've asked her out several times, but none of them have been successful. That Cheng Ruiyan, I heard he didn't get any benefits either. Today, after hearing Brother Lin's words, it's as if he's speaking on my behalf, and I must say, it's quite satisfying."

  Lin Wanrong said with a strange tone: "What's going on? Brother Luo, didn't you come for Miss Qin?"

  Luo nodded slightly, then shook his head and said: "This Qin Xian'er is a heavenly fragrance and national beauty. If I say I don't have any admiration for her, that would be a lie. However, admiration aside, looking at Qin Xian'er's expression as if she doesn't put all the men in the world in her eyes, naturally makes me feel uncomfortable. Unfortunately, my skills are shallow and I'm at a loss when it comes to this Qin Xian'er. Luckily, Lin brother appeared tonight and broke Qin miss's sharp spirit, also saving face for us men of Jinling."

  Lin Wanrong was sweating profusely, wasn't it just a few words of argument with a woman, how did it all escalate to the level of fighting for men's honor?

  Lin Wanrong's expression was dubious, and Luo Yuan laughed: "Brother Lin, don't be unbelieving, there are many people who think the same way as me. Only those ignorant and unlearned guys like to follow others' buttocks and pretend to be elegant."

  He spoke with his mouth, but his eyes were fixed on Cheng Ruiyan in the distance, a cold smile spreading across his face. Needless to say, the elegant and refined person he was talking about was naturally that young master who was also the commander-in-chief.

  This kind of struggle, behind the scenes, is a power struggle. Before understanding the situation clearly, Lin Wanrong didn't want to get involved either, so he just smiled and didn't speak.

  "Hey, Brother Lin, I suddenly thought of something. What kind of flavor is it when Qin Miss sings this song? Is it different from the one that Little Peach Red from Lichun Courtyard sang?"

  This kid, has a mind but not the guts, and his face is too thin, he's really lacking in experience with girls. Seeing Luo Yuan indulging in his own fantasies, Lin Wanrong couldn't help but chuckle to himself, saying: "Luo brother, I don't know what that little Peach Red sings like, but this Qin Miss sings, the flavor must be good."

  Luo Yuan sighed: "I'm afraid I don't have this blessing, but as for you, Lin brother, and also Guo brother, the two of you may still have some hope."

  Jian Luo Yuan sighed a little, Lin Wan Rong smiled and said: "Luo brother, pursuing girls, to put it bluntly, is actually extremely simple."

  "Oh?" Upon hearing this topic, Luo Yuan suddenly became spirited: "Brother Lin has some insights, quickly impart them to me." Even Biao Shao Ye, who was originally pretending to be serious on the side, also lit up his eyes and perked up his ears to listen.
