The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 136

[Chapter 136: The Best Voice and Beauty in the World]

Lin Tian made an appointment with the scholar surnamed Zhou to take Lin Tian to the poetry contest on the night of the Oiran election.

“Waiter, are there any rooms available?”

Lin Tian asked the waiter who was passing by.

“There are no rooms. There are too many people who came to watch the Oiran election these days. All the rooms are full.”

Seeing that it was Lin Tian who asked the question, the waiter remembered that Lin Tian couldn’t even afford a private room just now, and answered impatiently. Seeing the waiter

‘s impatient expression, Lin Tian knew that he was being treated as a poor ghost again, and turned his head to give Lin Kang a look.

Lin Kang took out a silver note of 1,000 taels from his sleeve and said to the waiter.

“Please be flexible and give us a room in the upper room.”

Seeing that Lin Kang offered 1,000 taels at once, the waiter thought that it was because he was short-sighted and almost lost a big customer.

So he quickly picked up the silver note and flattered with a smile.

“I suddenly remembered that a guest had booked a room but never came. I’ll give it to you, sir. Please wait for me to pack it up and take you upstairs.”

As expected, there is nothing in this world that money can’t do. If there is, it must be that the money has not been paid in time.

After a while, the waiter came to take Lin Tian and the others to see the room upstairs.

“Sir, if there is anything else you need to add, please tell me.” The waiter

knew that Lin Tian was a rich man, but he was just dressed in ordinary clothes. Based on his experience, he must be a rich kid who came out to experience life.

From the waiter’s performance before, his experience was not trustworthy, but he guessed that Lin Tian was a rich kid by accident.

“Master, why did you speak so humbly to that Zhou scholar just now? With your talent, you can kill him in a few minutes!”

Lin Kang asked Lin Tian as soon as the waiter left. He didn’t understand why his master would be so humbly to a self-righteous person.

“What do you know? We are new here and we don’t know anything. If we follow that Zhou Shusheng, maybe we can see the ‘beautiful’ courtesan Li Qingchan up close.”

Lin Tian kicked Lin Kang’s butt and explained.

Zhou Shusheng seemed to be somewhat famous in Suzhou City, otherwise he would not dare to say that he would win the first prize of the poetry contest.

But no matter how powerful he was, he did not expect that Lin Tian just wanted to use his connections to enter the poetry contest so that he could see the courtesan up close.

Zhou Shusheng was complacent and thought that he had recruited another person to flatter him.

Two days later, Lin Tian was awakened by Lin Kang early in the morning.

“Master, Master, look how lively it is outside, there are so many people!”

Lin Kang shouted excitedly at Lin Tian who was still lying on the bed.

“What are you making a fuss about? You have never seen the world. You disturbed my sweet dream. It seems that I really have to discipline you!”

Lin Tian threatened as he stood up.

“No, no, Master, I’m fine, no need to discipline me.”

Lin Kang said in a pleading tone, fearing that his master would discipline him.

After Lin Tian finished washing up, he changed into a snow-white straight-collared robe with golden auspicious clouds embroidered on the cuffs. He wore a moon-white auspicious cloud belt around his waist, on which was tied a fish-patterned jade pendant given by the little girl. He tied his hair with a hollow carved white jade crown and inserted a white jade hairpin.

He looked more handsome and unrestrained than usual, and was full of vigor and vitality.

Lin Kang, who was standing by, was slightly surprised.

“The young master is dressed very suave today, just like a handsome and talented scholar.”

Lin Tian was handsome, but he was a little tired from the journey yesterday, and he was wearing plain clothes. Lin Kang was not surprised by his dress today, but was slightly surprised.

“Let’s go, I have to take a good look at the courtesan today.”

Lin Kang thought to himself, it turned out that the young master wanted to see the courtesan, so he dressed so handsomely. He smiled and pushed the door to follow Lin Tian out.

When they came to the street, they saw a sea of people everywhere. In addition to some young people, there were also old people and children, as well as some beautifully dressed girls.

Although it was not their turn to be the courtesan, there were many talented men on the street, and they might meet their ideal man.

The girls on the street saw such a handsome Lin Tian, and they secretly looked at him a few more times. The bold ones even sent their servants to give Lin Tian a sachet.

In addition to some spices, there was usually a note in the sachet, which wrote the girl’s name, where she lived, and if they were a good match, they could take the sachet to propose marriage. You

can’t refuse the sachet, so Lin Tian could only accept it with a wry smile, and then throw it to Lin Kang behind him.

The other young people on the road saw that Lin Tian received so many sachets, and they all looked jealous, but they were not as handsome as Lin Tian.

At the intersection of the two roads ahead, there was a flower car decorated with various flowers on each side. When the flower cars met, the courtesans on the car would compete in singing and dancing.

The winner is determined by the number of flowers given by passersby, and the winner can go to the next street until the final courtesan is decided.

Lin Tian and the others followed the pedestrians on the street, not because they wanted to walk together, but because they were pushed to walk.

It was really pleasing to the eye to watch the courtesans compete with each other for beauty, but Lin Tianque was not interested, after all, he had seen the prettiest ones.

These people were not as pretty as Lu Wan’er and Gu Man’er, and they did not dance as well as them.

Lin Tian suddenly lost interest in Li Qingchan, who Zhou Shusheng and his friends boasted about yesterday. If these courtesans were like this, Li Qingchan would not be much better.

When they walked to the center of the city, the courtesans had already decided the winners, leaving only a flower car with gorgeous decorations and piled with flowers thrown by the people.

The scholars and talented people shouted like a modern cheering group.

“Qingchan, Qingchan!”

The crowd was very enthusiastic, Lin Tian thought.

“I didn’t expect that Li Qingchan is so popular. Maybe she won’t let me down.”

The melodious music suddenly sounded, like a stone splashing circles of ripples. Although it was abrupt, it was not boring.

The crowd gradually quieted down, waiting for the courtesan in their hearts to appear.

The dancers wore pink dance clothes, and the skin inside the gauze-like clothes could be vaguely seen. The ribbons fluttered and turned into a blooming red flower in the air!

As the dancers’ ribbons fell, the petals were scattered and covered a layer.

When the dancers gathered together, a barefoot dancer in a white gauze skirt appeared with a clear and pleasant singing voice.

Soon, everyone discovered that this dancer was extraordinary.

Every movement was just right, but it was something that ordinary dancers could not do.

The beautiful woman’s red lips slightly parted and her white teeth lightly closed. It turned out that the beautiful singing was also sung by her. Her “sound and beauty are both extraordinary” was well-deserved.
