"What's the saying again? Fan Xian looked at Teng Zijing.
Teng Zijing followed up quickly, "I die."
"Nonsense, I get nothing out of your death. Of course I want someone else dead. You know what to do, right?"
Teng Zijing agreed without hesitation, even though he knew that beating Guo Baokun in public would be a serious offense, not to mention Guo Baokun's relationship with the Crown Prince. He was the son of a minister. If Count Sinan did not intervene, Teng Zijing, as the mastermind, would have to flee the capital for many years. But he still agreed without hesitation, because he believed that by following this young man in front of him, he would definitely be able to escape from this kind of mediocre life in the future. This confidence came from many aspects, including Young Master Fan's knowledge, manner of speaking, and temperament, as well as Teng Zijing's intuition.
Fan Xian nodded, very satisfied with his attitude, but said something strange, "You don't know what to do."
Teng Zijing was a little surprised, not understanding what the young master meant.
"I have to beat him, or else how can I vent my anger?" Fan Xian smiled warmly, but this bright smile made Teng Zijing shiver, as usual. "But I have to think of how to beat him. Who will beat him? How can I beat him to my heart's content without worrying about being flogged by the authorities? "
"Originally, I didn't want to dirty my hands by beating him up, but if you or your family guards beat him up, it won't be easy to talk to the officials in the future. I believe father won't offend the Guo family for a few servants." Fan Xian continued to explain with a smile, "If I do it, my status is different, and the consequences will be much lighter. The marriage between the Fan and Lin families is imminent, and father and the nobleman in the palace are determined to make it happen. They can't let anything happen to me."
Teng Zijing frowned. "Young master, you must not do it yourself. Besides, a fight between the nobles in the capital is a small matter. If you involve the Master and Fan Manor's support in the palace, it would be a bit..."
Teng Zijing stopped talking, but Fan Xian continued. "A bit of a loss for a small gain? A bit of a mischief? "
He smiled and shook his head. "I'm just saying if. In reality, I'm not going to beat him and then give him a chance to bite back."
Teng Zijing felt a chill in his heart. Was this young master going to commit murder?
Fan Xian guessed what he was thinking. He laughed and did not explain. "Have you invited Crown Prince Jing?" he asked.
"Please."
"Where should I book it?"
"Drunken Immortal Residence."
"The name of this restaurant is quite elegant."
"… Young Master, this is a brothel."
Fan Xian was taken aback. He forced a smile and agreed. "Have you prepared the sacks?"
— —
To the west of the capital was the Liujing River. Before this river flowed into the Cang Mountains, it gradually slowed down, forming a large pool of water that was as clear as a mirror. Every night, many pleasure boats would travel casually on the surface of the lake. The boats were decorated with lanterns and streamers, and they were as dazzling as crystal palaces. It was extremely beautiful.
The commoners all knew what they did for a living. However, as time went on, not many people would point fingers at them.
The Drunken Immortal Residence was not the largest of the brothels, but it was of the highest class. It was a two-story ship, exquisitely beautiful and elegantly decorated. Most importantly, it was the most popular girl in the capital's brothel scene, Si Lili.
Si Lili's appearance and temperament went without saying. She was also skilled in the four arts of the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She was also proficient in playing the zither, the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Although she did not have much skill, she had earned a reputation as a talented woman from the capital's talented scholars, intentionally or otherwise.
Of course, this was not the only reason that had allowed this girl to rise so quickly in the capital's show scene and become the center of attention. To a greater extent, it was because of a certain rumor — it was said that Lady Lili's surname was not Si, but Li, the surname of the royal family. The rumors in the jianghu said that this girl was a descendant of the royal family at the beginning of the country, but because her ancestor had committed a major crime, she had fallen to this state.
Those who truly understood the royal family would naturally scoff at such rumors. The common people actually knew that the news was definitely false, but Si Lili never explained, so they simply went with the flow. In any case, His Majesty the Emperor would not care about the surname of a prostitute. This kind of mentality was actually easy to explain. Just think about the officials who worked in the court every day. If they knew that the wonderful person tossing and turning under them was a distant relative of His Majesty, they would probably be much happier.
That was why the Drunken Immortal Residence was very, very popular and very expensive, but it was still very lively every night. Who knew how many fools were willing to spend a lot of money to become Miss Lili's guest? But today, it was a little strange. The pleasure boat was anchored by the shore, but those young masters were not allowed to board. A few fierce-looking men were guarding the gangplank, and they almost got into a conflict with those people. Fortunately, the madam came down to explain, and those young masters found out that the Drunken Immortal Residence had been booked by someone today.
How much would it cost to book the Drunken Immortal Residence? The young masters, who loved to take advantage of the situation, left resentfully. They couldn't help but secretly curse the person who booked the Drunken Immortal Residence for being a spendthrift.
Fan Xian looked at the exquisite pastries on the table and drank the fine wine handed to him by a pair of slender hands. He really did feel like a spendthrift. Although the money had been paid by Teng Zijing from the accounts office of Count Sinan's manor, and although his father was in charge of the Kingdom of Qing's money, the accounts office of Fan Manor was like a small account office of the Kingdom of Qing. But when Fan Xian thought of the amount of money he would have to spend today, he still felt his heart ache. Furthermore, he didn't know how his father would react if he found out that he had used public money to visit a brothel, so he felt a little uneasy.
The source of his uneasiness also came from the girl in his arms.
Si Lili's eyebrows were like willow leaves, and her dark eyes roamed about. Her lips were like painted vermilion, and when they gently opened and closed, they naturally revealed a kind of charm. Most importantly, sitting in Fan Xian's arms, every inch of her body made Fan Xian a little dazed.
Feeling the heartbeat of the handsome young master beneath her getting faster and faster, Si Lili secretly smiled. After confirming that the young master of Fan Manor was indeed a fledgling, she stopped teasing him and got out of his arms. She poured him a cup of wine, brought it to his lips, and took a sip.
