This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 22 Keep a low profile

In the hall, everyone had different expressions.

Liu Songjin opened his mouth with a dull look on his face, suspecting that he might have heard it wrong.

Su Bie and Wang Dafu also suddenly stood up from their chairs, their faces filled with surprise.

"Did I hear correctly?"

Wang Dafu couldn't believe it and suspected that he had heard it wrong.

Yang Qian, who was standing aside, had managed to force a smile on his face, but it disappeared in an instant and the muscles on his face twitched continuously.

"Mr. Luo, come up quickly!"

Mother Liu waved her hand and urged.

Luo Zijun stood up, said something to Su Bie and the other two, and prepared to leave.

But he suddenly looked at Liu Songjin standing aside, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Liu, a gentleman's word is as good as a promise. People should be honest."

Liu Songjin: “…”

Wang Dafu suddenly yelled, "Liu Songjin! You bastard! It's fine if you want to cheat people out of their shit, but you actually want to drag us into this evil! You are such a fucking inhuman!"

The other people around also looked at him unfriendly.

Luo Zijun walked towards the stairs under the watchful eyes of everyone.

At this moment, the others suddenly started to make a loud noise.

"Why!"

"Mother Liu! Why can this boy go to see Miss Chu Jian, but we can't?"

"I don't accept it! We also want to meet the first girl!"

Especially those guests who came to wait before it got dark, they were even more dissatisfied, and looked like they were ready to rush upstairs.

At this time, a little maidservant beside Mama Liu suddenly said in a crisp voice: "Mr. Luo sent someone to make an appointment in advance last night, and also brought 10,000 taels of silver!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall immediately became quiet again.

"One... ten thousand taels?"

Everyone's expressions changed.

Yang Qian, Liu Songjin and others were also surprised.

Wang Dafu's eyes widened, and he suddenly looked at Su Bie beside him and said, "Brother Su, one... ten thousand taels? Are you sure that Brother Luo is just an apprentice in a drugstore? Even if he is the owner of a drugstore, he can't take out this much!"

Su Bie was also confused.

Of course, Luo Zijun, the person involved, was even more confused.

He sent someone to make an appointment last night? And he also gave 10,000 taels of silver?

Why didn't he know?
Looking up, he saw the little maid who had seen him pee twice last night, secretly winking at him with her big eyes.

He reacted immediately.

"Ahem, keep a low profile, keep a low profile..."

Luo Zijun immediately went upstairs with a humble look on his face.

The noise in the hall suddenly subsided.

Since he spent ten thousand taels, he is naturally qualified.

Luo Zijun went up to the second floor under the envious and jealous gazes of the crowd.

Mother Liu grabbed his hand, her movements intimate and warm, and whispered with a smile on her face: "Master Luo, you have been hiding this from me for a long time!"

This scene seemed natural to the people below.

Mother Liu has always been greedy for money.

Not to mention ten thousand taels, even if it was just a hundred taels, she would be able to smile brightly.

Luo Zijun thought to herself: This Madam Liu should have known about the poem. This is good. First, I can build a good relationship with the brothel and get familiar with the environment here. When I get to know Xu Xian, I can bring him here to play and help him fall. It will be more convenient.

Mother Liu took him into the corridor, caressing the back of his hand affectionately with one hand, and said with a smile on her face: "I really didn't expect that the poem was actually written by Master Luo for the first encounter. We guessed for a long time on the flower boat last night, but we couldn't guess it. Tsk tsk, Master Luo is really low-key."

Luo Zijun said modestly: "I have always been like this."

Bi'er, who was following behind, couldn't help but curl her lips and muttered to herself: You are really low-key. You actually peed on the boat in public, and you peed twice in front of others. You are very low-key! Humph!
Luo Zijun suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "Mother Liu, I'm going to see Miss Chu Jian now, it won't cost you money, right?"

Liu Ju laughed and clapped his hands, "No money, no money! How could that be! If it weren't for Mr. Luo's poem, our Chujian wouldn't have become so famous all of a sudden. Tianxianlou can't express our gratitude enough, how could we accept your money?"

Luo Zijun asked: "Then can I come here for free from now on?"

Liu Ju's smile froze, and after a pause, she said with a smile, "Mr. Luo, if you come to drink tea and watch performances in the hall in the future, it will be free of charge. However, if you want to try other activities, haha, our Tianxian Building is also a small business, and we have to support so many girls..."

Luo Zijun nodded and said, "I understand."

Liu Ju rolled her eyes and smiled again, "If Mr. Luo can write a few more poems like the one he wrote last night, then of course everything will be free."

Luo Zijun glanced at her and said, "Mother Liu has a really big appetite. The poem last night must have made your Tianxian Building a lot of money. If there are a few more poems, won't your Tianxian Building become the Tianxian Palace? When our guests come, they will probably have to kneel down before they can see the girls."

"Pfft..."

Bier, who was following behind, couldn't help laughing out loud and quickly covered her mouth.

Liu Ju also laughed loudly, patting Luo Zijun's hand and saying, "Mr. Luo is really good at joking, no wonder he can write such amazing poems. If Mr. Luo can really write poems like the one he wrote last night, when Mr. Luo comes, I won't dare to ask him to kneel down. Only I and the maids of Tianxian Tower will kneel down to him!"

The two chatted and laughed as they went up to the third floor. Then, they stopped at a room at the end of the corridor.

Liu Ju said with a big smile on her face, "Mr. Luo, please come in. Chu Jian is waiting for you in the room. I still have to go downstairs to serve those young masters downstairs, so I won't disturb you."

After saying that, she glanced at Bi'er beside her and gave her a secret wink.

Now, the girl in her family has transformed herself into the most valuable cash cow of their Tianxian Building. Naturally, she has to make money slowly and steadily. She must not lose her virginity all of a sudden and become worthless.

Liu Ju left in a hurry.

Bi'er went forward and knocked on the door: "Miss, Master Luo is here."

A soft and pleasant voice came from the room: "Please come in, Mr. Luo."

"Squeak..."

Bi'er pushed the door open, bowed her head and said respectfully, "Mr. Luo, please come in."

Luo Zijun took a look inside the room before walking in.

The room was covered with pink velvet carpets and hung with pink curtains. There were freshly picked flowers in the vase on the table, and a faint fragrance wafted into the air.

The house is divided into inner room and outer room.

The two spaces are separated by a crystal bead curtain and two draperies. There is also a flower screen in the inner room, embroidered with a picture of winter plum blossoms.

A figure was sitting behind the flower screen, seemingly playing a guqin.

But no piano sound came.

Luo Zijun bowed to the inner room and said, "Greetings, Miss Chu Jian."

Bi'er closed the door, came over and whispered, "Master Luo, please sit down here. I'll make you some tea."

Behind the screen, the figure stood up, bowed to Yingying outside, and said in a gentle voice: "Hello, sir. I am not feeling well today, so I can only speak to you like this. Please forgive me."

Luo Zijun looked at the figure of the girl on the screen and said, "Are you sick? I know a little bit about medicine, so I can go in and help you."

Liu Chujian: “…”

Bi'er was pouring tea on the side, rolling her eyes and muttering.

You are sick!
This is the first time my daughter has taken the initiative to ask someone out. She is reserved and shy. What's wrong with her?

"Thank you for your concern, sir. I just caught a cold. It's nothing serious. I will be fine after a few days of rest."

Liu Chujian said softly.

"Oh, since the young lady is not feeling well, I will not bother you any more. Goodbye."

Luo Zijun turned and left.

Liu Chujian: “…”

Bi'er was stunned for a moment, then quickly chased after him and said, "Mr. Luo, my lady still wants to talk to you!"

Why is this person like this!

Are you leaving right after coming in?

"If it's just some words of thanks, I'll appreciate it. I have something else to do, so I'll bother you next time."

Luo Zijun opened the door directly.

It's already dark outside the window.

Instead of wasting time here pretending to be nice to an NPC behind a beaded curtain and a flowery screen, it would be better to go home and practice martial arts.

Today's goal has been achieved, and Mother Liu already knows him.

So, it’s better to go home early.

"Son..."

Liu Chujian hurriedly walked out from behind the flower screen.

At this time, Luo Zijun had already walked out of the door. Without looking back, he waved his hand and said, "Miss, you are welcome. I ate, drank, and urinated on the flower boat last night. That poem is my reward to you."

After saying that, he actually left without even looking back.

"Wow..."

The bead curtain rustled.

Liu Chujian came out of the inner room in a pink dress. She looked at the empty door and listened to the sound of footsteps walking away quickly. The expression on her face suddenly froze.

Really... gone?
"Why is he like this?"

The flickering light from the candlestick next to her illuminated her pretty face and slender, delicate body.

Those watery eyes were full of astonishment.

Bi'er, who was standing at the door, also opened her mouth, looking dumbfounded.

"Yeah, he...how could he do this?"

"Miss, is he sick?"

Didn’t you see those people outside, crying and shouting, wanting to see their own lady, but unable to do so?
He left as soon as he arrived!
The master and servant stared at each other in a tense atmosphere.
