Chapter 2, Zui Xiang Lou is a brothel

Little Black was happily eating when suddenly its body flew forward in a parabolic shape. When it finally came to its senses and saw the situation clearly, it discovered that Qin Mingyue was staring at it with wide eyes, filled with anger.

"No need to trouble yourself! Third Young Master is being too polite." Steward Xu was taken aback for a moment, then followed Qin Xiaoyuan's gaze to glance inside the room. Today, Fourth Young Lady's Mingyue Residence was quiet, which surprised him. He shook his head and stepped forward to follow Qin Xiaoyuan.

Miss! You should quickly review your skills in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting! Think about how to handle the examination from the lord tomorrow. Cuizhu's little face had already turned red; she truly could not bear to listen any longer. Her young lady's thoughts were unlike those of ordinary people, and they were beyond the influence of her little maid. Finally, seeing her young lady fall silent, she hurriedly spoke up.

At this point, Qin Mingyue suddenly fell silent. She still wanted to find a devoted husband in the future, as she had been influenced by the education of the 21st century regarding monogamy. Even though she had been in ancient times for 5 years, the idea of having multiple partners was simply out of the question for her. She shook her head.

"Miss! The Third Young Master has left!" Cui Zhu's small face was still somewhat flushed as she held the tea leaves, watching Qin Xiao Yuan leave with Steward Xu. She turned to the frowning Qin Ming Yue and asked, "Should we still brew this Bi Luo Chun?"

But... how will Miss pass the test tomorrow? If she is not prepared, she will have to kneel in the ancestral hall again. " Cui Zhu looked at Qin Mingyue with concern. Every time the young lady fails the test, she is locked in the ancestral hall, which is eerie and dark, and the punishment lasts for an entire night.

"Miss! It is only natural for the Left Chancellor, who holds a high position and great power, to have a dozen or so wives and concubines," Cui Zhu interjected. This statement had been made countless times, yet each time, it seemed that the Miss could not take it in.

The sky is about to rain, let lightning strike her! How embarrassing! Qin Mingyue covered her head in self-reproach, blaming herself for picking up such a foolish girl. She inadvertently caught sight of a little cat happily eating osmanthus cake, and her anger flared up once again

Understood, doesn't that make one a promiscuous woman, like a courtesan? Qin Mingyue picked up her words: "The rules of old are meant to be broken. Who says only men can have multiple wives and concubines, while women cannot embrace both sides? In the future, I will..."

Hmm... it seems that Xiao Hei is also aware that today's events are significant. It meowed a couple of times, its plump little body pressed against Qin Mingyue's feet, and then it jumped onto Qin Mingyue's lap, using its tongue, which was still covered in pastry crumbs, to lick Qin Mingyue's face, offering comfort to its owner

Um! Qin Mingyue nodded unconsciously, not looking at the green bamboo, reached out to take the tea, accurately sipped a mouthful, and then accurately placed it on the table beside her, and said in a muffled voice: "Did that old man not just test the piano skills three days ago? What is he going to test this time?"

"Little Black, don't you know to tell me when someone arrives? All you do is eat, one day you'll eat yourself to death!" Qin Mingyue stepped forward and grabbed the little cat by the ear, throwing it directly to the ground with no gentleness at all

"Miss! The Prime Minister is your father; you must not let anyone hear you call him an old man." Cui Zhu hurriedly advised. She did not know how many times she had told the young lady, yet she still did not change her ways. If the Prime Minister were to hear it one day, it would be disastrous.

"Alright! I will head over now, thank you, Steward Xu." After finishing her words, Qin Xiaoyuan glanced at Qin Mingyue and Cui Zhu, who had already entered the room, then turned and walked towards the door, her graceful figure appearing somewhat hurried today

The green bamboo beside twitched at the corners, Little Black? Clearly, it is a little white cat, yet the young lady insists on calling it Little Black. Moreover, it originally was a snow fox, but since coming into the hands of this master, it has also learned her bad habits. ... Looking at | person | image ... ... It seems that the cat is even more enthusiastic than the young lady herself ... ...

Heavens! Just thinking about it makes me feel depressed. Qin Mingyue actually got caught looking at a pictorial in front of a handsome man. Although that handsome man is her half-brother, it still reflects poorly on her

The four arts of the scholar... um... Qin Mingyue was indeed distracted, her expression filled with distress. Beside her, Cui Zhu also began to worry. Just as the look of concern appeared on her face, she suddenly saw Qin Mingyue's eyes light up, her small face filled with joy. She sprang up from her chair and excitedly said while looking towards the door: "I almost forgot! Today is the annual selection day for the courtesan at Zui Xiang Lou."

Forget it! It's better not to go; those women, even if they know, won't be kind enough to tell you.

Third Young Master! Third Young Master! We have found you! The Master is in the study and requests that you go there immediately. Just as Qin Xiaoyuan was feeling troubled, the butler Xu Mu hurried over, his plump body trembling, and upon seeing Qin Xiaoyuan, he let out a sigh of relief and spoke hastily

"Oh dear! Miss!" Cui Zhu stepped forward and covered Qin Mingyue's mouth with her hand, her small face filled with horror as she looked outside the room. Only when she confirmed that no one could hear did she feel relieved and let go of her hand: "You must never say such things, Miss. Since ancient times, it has only been men with three wives and four concubines; how could there be women with multiple husbands? That is... that is..." Cui Zhu pondered over the adjectives, but after thinking for a long time, she couldn't come up with any, her face flushed red.

Go away! Go away! Go away! Dead cat! So dirty! Qin Mingyue pushed the kitten aside, using her sleeve to wipe her face repeatedly, and sat back down on the chair in a huff. This little creature is the best at this trick.

Drunken Fragrance Pavilion! That is a brothel! Cui Zhu's small face immediately turned pale as she looked in shock at Qin Mingyue's excited and glowing face. Surely, her young lady is not planning to go to a brothel again?

I understand, I understand, I never said he wasn't; in fact, I wish he weren't my father! I've never seen such a lecherous old man. At his age, he is still so vigorous. I heard that a few days ago, he took in two more concubines, which means he now has two more stepmothers. Can he really handle so many wives by himself?" Qin Mingyue tilted her head and muttered to herself. Thinking of those two beauties, I heard they were both young ladies as beautiful as flowers, and yet they were wasted on that old man. It's not worth it! Can he really handle so many wives by himself?" Qin Mingyue tilted her head and muttered to herself. Thinking of those two beauties, I heard they were both young ladies as beautiful as flowers, and yet they were wasted on that old man. It's not worth it! Not worth it.

"Why aren't you making tea? I'm thirsty!" Qin Mingyue raised her head in annoyance and shot a glare at Cui Zhu, blaming that dead girl for making her lose face

However, he is already an old man, yet he is still so lecherous. I really do not understand the men in this world; what is the purpose of marrying so many wives? Is it to demonstrate a man's capabilities? One day, I too will find myself ten or eight husbands... Qin Mingyue's voice was somewhat indignant

I do not know. Would you like me to inquire with another young lady and then return to inform you, my lord?" Cui Zhu shook her head, looking at Qin Mingyue's troubled little face, and hesitated before speaking.

Miss! The tea is ready!" Cui Zhu entered with the tea, her footsteps light and her words spoken with great care

"You little brat, why do you always bring up the wrong things? Hurry up and make some tea!" Qin Mingyue's pretty face flushed red with embarrassment and anger. She secretly cursed, wondering if there was still any dignity left in her image. If it weren't for Zhao Ma and that little brat not being around today, would she even bother to look? Who would have thought that this little brat would come back at such an inappropriate time, and even bring back a bystander with her?

"Miss Xiao! I do not know what you are looking at... If I had known, I would not have called Young Master San to come over..." Cui Zhu's small body trembled as she looked at Qin Mingyue's dejected face and quickly expressed her self-reproach.

The kitten knew that this time the focus would no longer be on it, and it proudly flicked its long tail before jumping back onto the table to eat osmanthus cake. Meanwhile, Qin Mingyue remained sullen, her head lowered as she seemed lost in thought.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with the ancestral hall; I just dislike seeing that group of women. Qin Mingyue frowned and said: The thought of those women's heavy scent of cosmetics makes me feel nauseous. I really don't understand how that old man could tolerate it.
