#165 - Chapter 165 Angry Mr. Shen
However, being in the Drunken Flower House,
the two young ladies were also helpless, despite their unwillingness.
But Mother Wang ordered them to accompany the guests, so they had to come.
The two lowered their heads, frowned, and pushed open the door of the Hibiscus Pavilion, entering the room.
Although they didn't raise their heads, they knew that there were two young masters drinking inside.
They didn't carefully look at the men in front of them, but mechanically performed a curtsy.
Then they stood respectfully at the door, waiting for the guests to choose.
The two women felt bitter in their hearts, as this young Marquis had a bad reputation on Qiluo Street.
They wondered who would be chosen by him today, and would inevitably be molested and humiliated.
Thinking of this, the two young ladies couldn't help but feel sorrow, and their faces became even more miserable.
Seeing the expressions of the two women, Mother Wang coughed lightly behind them.
Ziyu and Qinglian could only force a smile again.
Just then, they suddenly heard one of the men inside say ingratiatingly,
"Lord, the young ladies of the Drunken Flower House have arrived."
"See which one you fancy."
"Then call her over to serve you."
Another slightly magnetic male voice sounded.
"Young Marquis, please, drinking tea and wine today is already a delightful thing."
"The company of beautiful women depends on fate."
"Both of these young ladies are gorgeous."
"Why not let the two young ladies choose?"
Hearing that they were allowed to choose, Ziyu and Qinglian couldn't help but raise their beautiful eyes to look forward.
This look was crucial, their eyes seemed to be attracted by a magnet and were difficult to move.
The young Marquis on the side was directly ignored by the two women.
Their eyes were fixed on the man in the green shirt.
The two young ladies were the top courtesans of this Drunken Flower House.
They had seen many handsome young masters.
But the two women had never seen a man as handsome as the one in front of them.
Everyone has a love for beauty, men and women are the same.
The two young ladies saw that the patron they were going to serve was so handsome.
The little unease on the way just now disappeared completely.
Both of them had slightly red faces and amorous expressions.
Trying their best to show their most beautiful side.
Then they each took a step forward and curtsied again.
"Little girl greets the young master."
"Greetings, young master."
This time, the voices of the two women were melodious and pleasant, with a hint of seduction.
It's just that the positions of the two women were closer to Li Yuan, while in front of the young Marquis was empty.
Mother Wang behind them was annoyed when she saw the situation of the two women.
You two little sluts, what are you being so flirtatious for.
You're all running to the green-robed young master's side, what about the young Marquis?
But to Mother Wang's surprise, this young Marquis, who was rumored to be grumpy on weekdays, was not angry at all.
He smiled and said to the handsome young man in green.
"The charm of Earl Qingyuan is really irresistible."
"To be favored by two young ladies."
"I admire you."
Li Yuan shook his head and smiled wryly.
The young Marquis teased the two women.
"Since you both want to serve Earl Qingyuan."
"Then sit on one side each and serve him well."
"If Earl Qingyuan is happy, this young Marquis will reward you."
Hearing the young Marquis's instructions,
the two young ladies quickly leaned over and sat on Li Yuan's left and right, one pouring tea and the other peeling fruit, very diligently.
Li Yuan didn't refuse the young Marquis's kindness, smiled helplessly and enjoyed it.
Anyway, Li Yuan came today to see the Drunken Flower House, and he would do as the host pleased, and take it easy.
Seeing this, Mother Wang quickly apologized to the young Marquis.
"Young Marquis, please wait a moment."
"These two girls don't know the rules, I'll call two more over."
The young Marquis waved his hand generously.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I'm just accompanying him."
"The most important thing today is to make Earl Qingyuan happy."
"The two young ladies are willing to take the initiative to serve Earl Qingyuan, which is exactly what I want."
"Mother Wang, please feel free."
Coming to the Drunken Flower House today, in the young Marquis's opinion, was also part of making amends to Li Yuan.
As long as Li Yuan had a good time in the Drunken Flower House today, he didn't care whether he had a girl to accompany him or not.
The two were drinking and chatting in the Hibiscus Pavilion.
Suddenly, they heard someone outside the window in Peach Blossom Square shouting angrily.
"Zhao Chengzhi, Zhao family brat, are you there! ?"
The young Marquis put down his wine cup and poked his head out from the window of the Hibiscus Pavilion.
He saw a person standing in the Peach Blossom Square below, looking in the direction of the Hibiscus Pavilion, with a very angry expression.
It was none other than the self-proclaimed top talent of the capital, Shen Moxuan, Young Master Shen.
When the young Marquis saw it was him, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He shouted loudly at Shen Moxuan.
"Young Master Shen, I'm here, what do you want?"
Shen Moxuan took a step forward, put his hands behind his back, and struck a stern pose, shouting loudly at the Hibiscus Pavilion.
"Zhao Chengzhi, you rascal, you are so unreasonable!"
"The two young ladies, Ziyu and Qinglian, I have already booked."
"They were clearly going to participate in my poetry meeting, why did you intercept them halfway!"
"Release the two young ladies quickly."
Following Shen Moxuan's words, a group of scholars behind him also stood up and clamored.
"That's right, you rascal!"
"Release them!"
Peach Blossom Square is located in the atrium on the first floor of the Drunken Flower House, surrounded by compartments similar to the Hibiscus Pavilion.
When these scholars clamored and made noise, many guests poked their heads out of the compartments to see what was happening in the atrium.
At this time, Shen Moxuan was indeed very angry.
He had been planning this poetry meeting for a long time.
He originally wanted to invite Su Lin'er, the famous courtesan of the capital, to participate in the poetry meeting to make a name for himself.
But the Drunken Flower House told him that Su Dajia already had arrangements and had no schedule.
Helplessly, this Young Master Shen could only settle for second best.
He chose the two young ladies, Ziyu and Qinglian, from the other top courtesans of the Drunken Flower House.
Although they were not as talented and beautiful as Su Dajia, they were also first-class female generals in this Qiluo Street.
Both of them were proficient in all kinds of arts, such as music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
Young Master Shen had already paid the deposit, just waiting to invite the two young ladies to play music and sing poetry together.
Tomorrow, the beautiful story of a talented scholar and a beautiful woman would spread throughout the streets of the capital.
But he never expected.
Just now, when Young Master Shen looked up, he saw the two young ladies, Ziyu and Qinglian, entering the Hibiscus Pavilion.
Looking again, wasn't the one sitting in the Hibiscus Pavilion the young Marquis Zhao Chengzhi?
Seeing this scene, Shen Moxuan was so angry that smoke came out of his ears.
The girls he had booked were actually intercepted by that rascal.
In a fit of anger, Shen Moxuan jumped out and roared loudly at the Hibiscus Pavilion.
Even disregarding the civility of a scholar.
The young Marquis was only suppressing his temper in front of Li Yuan, appearing very gentle and courteous.
How could he suppress his anger when Shen Moxuan provoked him?
So this Young Master Zhao directly got up and confronted Shen Moxuan below.
"Young Master Shen, you must not talk nonsense."
"This Drunken Flower House is a den of gold and a place of romance, I, Young Master, am paying real money to invite the two young ladies to accompany me."
"What's it to you?"
Hearing this, Shen Moxuan shook his head.
He deliberately walked a few steps in the central hall of Peach Blossom Square.
So that the guests in the surrounding compartments could see his figure clearly.
Then he shook his head and recited loudly.
"You uneducated rascal, how would you understand?"
"The two beauties, Ziyu and Qinglian, are both excellent in poetry and painting."
"Today, my poetry meeting will definitely create several masterpieces for the two of them to make a name for themselves."
"You intercepted the two young ladies."
"You are hindering the two young ladies' path to fame in the flower market."
"I really feel sorry and lamentable for the two young ladies."
Shen Moxuan said this to provoke the two young ladies in the Hibiscus Pavilion to feel resentment towards the young Marquis.
After all, making a name for themselves at the poetry meeting can be considered a good thing for the girls in this romantic place.
He also wanted the guests present to know that it was this young Marquis who hindered the poetry meeting of the talented scholar and the beautiful woman, ruining a beautiful thing.
So that the surrounding guests would feel disgusted with the people in the Hibiscus Pavilion.
Now his purpose has been achieved to some extent.
Many guests around poked their heads out of the compartments to watch, and some people pointed at the Hibiscus Pavilion.
Their eyes were full of disdain.
