This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 72 The Girl’s Thoughts

The streets are quite busy in the morning.

At this time, the Tianxian Tower, having shed the prosperity and noise of the night, seemed exceptionally quiet.

At the door, upstairs.

Those gorgeously dressed girls also suddenly disappeared.

Luo Zijun came to the door, a little hesitant.

It was indeed a little too early to come here now, but he was really anxious to sign up for martial arts training.

Time waits for no one.

After thinking for a while, he turned into the alley next to him.

At the end of the alley, there was a back door, and Bier led him in that night.

"Dong dong!"

When he arrived at the back door, he knocked directly.

There was silence inside the door.

After waiting for a while, he saw that no one came to open the door, so he prepared to go to the front door.

At this moment, a woman's voice suddenly came from inside: "Who is it?"

The voice was somewhat familiar.

Luo Zijun hurriedly asked, "Is it Miss Shuishui? It's me, Luo Zijun."

"what?"

Soon, the sound of footsteps came.

Then, with a creaky sound, the wooden door opened.

Shui Shui was wearing a goose yellow dress, her hair was disheveled, and her eyes were sleepy, obviously having just gotten up.

She looked at the person outside the door and asked in surprise: "Mr. Luo, why are you here now?"

Luo Zijun asked: "Can't you come now?"

Shui Shui chuckled and said, "It's not that I can't come, it's just very strange. How can I come to a brothel so early in the morning?"

As he said that, he grabbed his hand and pulled him in.

"But it doesn't matter. Let's go to my room. My quilt is still warm, and my body is warm too."

Luo Zijun said quickly: "I have something to ask Miss Chu Jian."

"Humph, looking for her again!"

Shui Shui pouted her lips and pretended to be angry.

"Master Luo, can't you come to me once? I've already told you that I don't want any money for the first time. You can do whatever you want. Are you still unwilling?"

Luo Zijun helped her close the back door, and then put his arm around her slender waist, saying, "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I've been too weak lately and can't move."

"Pfft..."

Shui Shui chuckled, her smile as beautiful as a flower: "Is it true?"

Luo Zijun said: "It is absolutely true."

Shui Shui snorted and said, "I don't believe it, unless you come with me to the room and I try it myself. If it really can't move, I will spare you."

Luo Zijun thought about it and said, "Okay. But I have something else to do. I need to go see Miss Chu Jian first."

"Really? How long will it take, Master Luo?"

When Shui Shui heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up. She raised her charming little face, her eyes already flooded with spring water: "I can't wait any longer."

Luo Zijun said: "At most a quarter of an hour."

"Really?"

"real."

Shui Shui immediately smiled and took him up to the third floor. She pointed to the corridor on the right and said, "I'm in the last room over there. My name is on the door. When you come later, just knock on the door."

Then she let go of him and said with a sweet smile: "I have to go back and dress up. I also need to change into a beautiful skirt."

Then she suddenly blinked and whispered, "By the way, sir, do you like me to wear a bellyband or not?"

Luo Zijun thought about it seriously and said, "Put it on. This way you'll feel a sense of accomplishment when you take it off."

"Cluck, cluck, cluck..."

Shui Shui burst into laughter and patted his chest coquettishly, saying, "Young Master, you are so coquettish."

"Each each other."

"Hahahahahahahaha… Then I'll leave first. You must come later!"

"Well, a gentleman's word is as good as gold!"

Only then did Shui Shui leave happily.

Luo Zijun turned and walked to the other side.

A maid had already seen it and hurried to the innermost room and knocked on the door.

"Sister Bier! Sister Bier! Master Luo is here!"

Bier was sleeping soundly, but when she heard the sound, she suddenly sat up from the bed. After being confused for a few seconds, she woke up immediately!
"Ah? Which Mr. Luo?"

She got up hastily and dressed.

The little maid outside said, "It's that Mr. Luo, Luo Zijun!"

"what!"

Bi'er was startled. While putting on her clothes, she said anxiously, "Miss! Miss! The frequent urinator is here!"

Liu Chujian woke up immediately.

The master and servant dressed hurriedly.

Bi'er took a comb and combed her hair while saying to the outside: "Xiaomei, tell that guy to wait outside for a while."

At this time, footsteps were approaching.

Xiaomei's voice came from outside: "Mr. Luo, please wait outside for a while. Miss Chu Jian hasn't gotten up yet."

"You haven't gotten up yet? Oh, then... excuse me."

"Mr. Luo, where are you going?"

"It's too early today. I'll come again tomorrow."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Chujian, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, stood up in a hurry and shouted to the outside: "Master Luo, I... I'm up."

Luo Zijun stopped and said to the room: "Sorry to disturb Miss Chu Jian's rest." "No... I, I woke up a long time ago..."

Liu Chujian quickly put on her shoes and socks and said, "Mr. Luo, can you wait a moment? I'll be ready soon."

"Ah."

Luo Zijun stopped outside.

Liu Chujian hurried to wash up and then sat down at the dressing table.

After a while.

The door opened with a creak.

Bi'er rubbed her eyes, looked outside, and said unhappily, "Mr. Luo, come in."

Seeing her sleepy look, Luo Zijun said a little embarrassedly: "I had something to do today, so I came a little early."

"Young Master, whenever you come here, you have something to do. Once you have finished your business, you will leave immediately."

Bi'er snorted, turned around and let him in.

Luo Zijun came in, took out a hairpin, put it on her head, and said, "This is for you."

Bi'er was stunned, raised her hand to touch it, and suddenly froze in place.

Luo Zijun rubbed her head again, then walked into the house and bowed to the girl inside, saying, "It's a bit abrupt to visit me suddenly today, I hope you won't blame me for this."

Liu Chujian was wearing a pink dress, with her hands folded on her waist. She lowered her head and returned the greeting gracefully, saying softly, "Mr. Luo, you are too kind."

Luo Zijun took out a jade bracelet and handed it over: "I just bought it on the street, it's a bit cheap, I hope you don't mind it."

I said last time that I would give her a gift.

Liu Chujian was slightly startled, and glanced at him with her watery eyes, then looked at the jade bracelet in his hand. She paused, stretched out her slender hand, took it, and a light blush appeared on her fair face. She smiled softly and said, "Thank you, sir. I am so grateful that you can think of me, so how can I despise you?"

Luo Zijun looked at the jade bracelet in her hand and said, "I saw that the girl had fair skin and slender wrists. If she wore this jade bracelet, she would definitely look very beautiful, so I bought it."

Liu Chujian's cheeks turned slightly red, and her slender hands hung down unnaturally, with the wide sleeves covering her two white jade arms.

Luo Zijun started talking about business.

"Have you read my new manuscript, young lady?"

Suddenly, Bi'er's voice came from behind: "My lady has already finished watching it and is waiting every night..."

"Bi'er."

Liu Chujian quickly stopped her, her pink cheeks turning redder: "Pour the tea."

"Oh."

Bier put away the hairpin, glanced at someone, and went over to make tea.

Liu Chujian carefully placed the jade bracelet on the dressing table, then took out the manuscript, looked at him with complicated eyes, and said softly: "Sir, this new book... is really well written. In the past few days, the little girl has read it over and over again, and every time she reads it, she will cry unconsciously..."

Luo Zijun asked: "Then...how much can it be sold for?"

Liu Chujian did not answer immediately. He lowered his head and flipped through a few pages. Then he raised his eyes, looked at him with a sparkling look and said, "I suggest that you don't sell it for the time being. Wait until the first book sells well before negotiating the price. In this way, you can raise the price higher."

"how long it takes?"

Luo Zijun asked.

Liu Chujian hesitated for a moment and said, "Young Master's first book should have been published in the next two days. It will take at least a month to see the effect."

"More than a month?"

Luo Zijun frowned and said immediately: "Then I can't wait. Let's just sell the second book directly, as long as the price is higher than the first book."

He urgently needs money to sign up for martial arts training.

Liu Chujian looked at him tenderly and asked, "Sir, are you in urgent need of money?"

Luo Zijun nodded: "It's urgent."

Liu Chujian didn't say anything else. After a pause, he went over and put the manuscript on the table, then went into the inner room.

Bi'er's face changed: "Miss!"

Luo Zijun was confused and was about to speak when he saw the girl take out a purse from the inner room.

After counting, an embarrassed expression appeared on her beautiful face: "There are only 120 taels left, Master, take it first."

Bi'er pouted her lips and was about to cry.

Luo Zijun stared at the girl in front of him in a daze and did not reach out to take it.

Liu Chujian paused, put the silver on the table, turned around and went back into the house. After a long time, he brought out a box and put it on the table.

This time, Bi'er really cried: "Miss..."

Liu Chujian slowly opened the box, and inside it were some gold and silver jewelry, some letters and girls' accessories.

After thinking for a while, she took off the gold hairpin on her head and put it in the box.

Then, he took out all the letters and ornaments from the box and carefully placed them on the dressing table.

"Mr. Luo, you can take these gold and silver jewelry to the pawn shop. They should be worth a lot of money. These... are all useless to me."

She came over, picked up the bag of silver and the brocade box, and handed them to Luo Zijun together. Her eyes were as clear as spring water and her voice was as gentle as water.

The room suddenly became quiet.

Bi'er, who was standing beside her, bit her lips, her eyes were red, but she didn't make any sound.

"Master Luo, take it. You can earn more money and buy more jewelry. Besides, Master Luo should be able to return it to me after he sells the book next month."

The girl looked at him sincerely and moved the thing in her hand forward again, in front of him.

She had a frail body and delicate hands, and seemed unable to lift it.

Luo Zijun was silent for a while, then he slowly reached out and took out a silver ingot from his purse, saying, "This is enough."

The girl was startled for a moment and blinked: "Is that enough?"

"enough."

Luo Zijun accepted the silver and looked into her clear and gentle eyes. His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but he swallowed it back and just said, "Thank you for meeting me, Miss Chu. I will pay you back as soon as I have money."

The girl smiled slightly, her eyes full of charm.

The room fell silent again, and Luo Zijun bowed and said goodbye: "Then I won't disturb you to rest."

Without waiting for a reply, he immediately turned around and left the room.

As if trying to escape from something.

When he arrived at the corridor, he let out a breath unconsciously, then looked down at the silver in his hand with a complicated expression.

Outside the window, the sunlight is bright and a little dazzling.
