The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 14

[Chapter 14 Yirenju]

The first and fourteenth day of the lunar month are the days when major brothels in the capital compete for oirans, also known as the oiran convention.

Coincidentally, on Earth, this day is Valentine’s Day in the West.

There are essential differences between the Oiran Convention and Valentine’s Day, but the content is similar.

It’s all men who empty their wallets just to get a smile from a beautiful girl.

On this day alone, the business of the brothel was comparable to that of the previous ten days and a half.

To this end, all major brothels are actively promoting and cooperating.

Qingguo’er, who are rarely seen on weekdays, took to the stage to perform and tried their best to win the title of oiran.

Of course, only these poor courtesans can be qualified to run for oiran. Others who are in ruins cannot attract the attention of nobles.

At night, Yirenju, which hosted the conference, was bustling with activity, and the lobby was full of seats.

There are women in gauze skirts dancing on the stage.

There were constant cheers from the audience, no matter whether they were tall and handsome men or gentle young men, they all stared at the stage without blinking.

When Fang Xiu came in, no one noticed him.

He found a seat at random and sat down, closing his eyes and relaxing.

Bai Xiaochun, who was beside him, saw this and joined the crowd of people enjoying the dance.

“When did you come?”

Someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder, and Fang Xiu looked back subconsciously.

It’s that guy Wu Yi.

With my head wrapped in gauze and a cane in my hand, I still come to the brothel to join in the fun. It is really not easy for me to be physically disabled but not mentally disabled.

After Fang Xiu was surprised, he only had admiration and said, “Just arrived.”

Wu Yi seemed to notice his eyes, and he laughed awkwardly and said, “It’s not a big deal to recuperate. I missed the annual Oiran for this reason.” Let’s get over the big deal, make room for me.”

After he finished speaking, he threw away his crutch and sat down next to Fang Xiu, staring at the stage intently.

Fang Xiu curled his lips disdainfully.

This guy only has so much potential…

He shook his head and turned his attention to the food on the table.

The seats they were sitting in were specially reserved for dignitaries by Yirenju. Not only was it spacious, but there were also fruits, snacks, tea, and sake.

Tired of Fangfu’s red bean cake, Yirenju’s plum blossom cake tastes good.

Paired with the unnamed green tea in the pot, it tastes sweet and very delicious.

“I heard that you sold your house for Miss Wanqing?”

Wu Yi drank a glass of wine, stared at the stage, and asked casually.

Fang Xiu nodded, with a firm look on his face, and said: “If I can redeem Wanqing’s freedom today, it will mean selling the few acres of land of our Fang family. What’s the point?”

Wu Yi looked at Fang in surprise. Xiu glanced at him and said suspiciously, “Really?”

“Really.”

Wu Yi shook his head and said, “Why haven’t I seen you so dedicated before?”

Fang Xiu sighed and said, “You don’t understand, people will always change. “

The changes in men begin with women. This is true for the earth, and it is also true for Chu State.

A romantic playboy like Wu Yi has never truly loved anyone, so naturally he cannot empathize with her.

“I know you, you can’t do things like squandering beauty.”

Wu Yi looked at Fang Xiu seriously, his eyes seemed to be shining with the light of wisdom.

Just when Fang Xiu thought that he had seen through his plan, he suddenly said: “You must want to take advantage of your father’s absence and run away with the money!”

Fang Xiu had complicated eyes, thought for a moment, and said: “You are really… Wisdom.”

Wu Yi raised his lips slightly and said with a proud look on his face: “No matter where you go, as long as you are still in Chu State, Uncle An Ping will definitely find you. I advise you to die as soon as possible. Take it easy.”

Fang Xiu nodded helplessly and looked forward.

The dancer on the stage is still dancing.

“Shameless!”

A voice shouted from behind, which seemed a bit abrupt among the cheers.

Fang Xiu and Wu Yi looked back at the same time.

I saw a handsome boy with a flushed face and a tilted face, with panic in his eyes.

When Fang Xiu saw this, he had a strange look on his face and turned his head away from looking at him.

Wu Yi had a look of disgust on his face and cursed in a low voice: “A grown man, so effeminate, a disgrace to the scenery…”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the handsome boy standing in front of him, looking straight at him. Fang Xiu said, “Brothers, do you mind if I sit here?”

Wu Yigang was about to refuse, but when he saw the handsome boy looking at Fang Xiu, he seemed to have thought of something.

He looked at Fang Xiu in disbelief, shuddered, and said subconsciously: “I don’t mind.”

The handsome boy smiled, sat down next to Fang Xiu, picked up the plum blossom cake on the table, and stuffed it into his mouth inside.

Fang Xiu opened his mouth, wanting to tell him that he had just bitten that piece, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.

As for Wu Yi on the side, the woman who appeared to be dancing in the stands was actually secretly looking towards Fang Xiu and the handsome boy.

The handsome boy looked at Fang Xiu in a very different way just now. He could tell at a glance that he had been among the flowers for many years.

Men and men.

Not an unusual thing in this day and age.

Many children of aristocratic families have this habit, and they also call it ‘Longyang’s Goodness’.

But he didn’t expect that his brother, who had been playing since childhood, would also have this kind of hobby.

Thinking of this, he felt a chill and couldn’t help but move his butt to the side, further away from Fang Xiu.

Fang Xiu was too lazy to pay attention to him, put his face close to the handsome boy, and asked in a low voice: “You are a woman, why are you visiting a brothel?”

In this era where makeup skills have not yet reached the level of perfection, Fang Xiu could tell at a glance that this handsome boy was a girl. Zhao Yan dressed as a man.

That’s why I tolerate this dead glass that looks like a ‘little shou’ sitting next to me.

“Who said women can’t visit brothels?”

Zhao Yan glanced at Fang Xiu dissatisfied, secretly spat, with a look of disdain on her face, and said: “I thought you came here because of Miss Wanqing, but I didn’t expect it. But it’s just for fun.”

Fang Xiu leaned over and whispered in her ear: “Whatever you think, I feel guilty.”

After saying that, he raised the tea cup and drank it in one gulp.

“You!”

Zhao Yan glared at Fang Xiu, then ignored him and focused on the plum blossom cake on the table.

It seemed that he wanted to express all his resentment on the food, and stuffed the rest into his mouth after a few mouthfuls. His bulging cheeks looked like a squirrel collecting food for the winter.

Wu Yi, who accidentally caught a glimpse of this scene, felt a chill in his heart. He became more convinced that the relationship between this handsome boy and Fang Xiu was not simple. He stood up, lifted his chair and moved to the side.

“Hey, this brother looks unfamiliar. Is it your first time here?”

Zhao Yanzheng looked at Fang Xiu with disdainful eyes, and suddenly there was a figure beside him.

Turning her head, she saw a big man sitting next to her, with a smoky smell that was disgusting.
