The person who came was an elegant young master. He wore a fan and a turban. His face was as white as jade, and his white brocade clothes added to his elegance. He was walking towards Carefree with a bright face. Carefree sized him up and couldn't help but praise him.
"Little brother Qiu Lan, I heard the poem you read just now. It is extraordinary and is a top-notch work, so I have the idea of getting to know you.”
Qiu Lan bowed to Carefree with a charming smile on her handsome face.
If I were a woman, I would definitely fall in love with him. Carefree actually had such a ridiculous idea, which made him laugh.
"I am Carefree."
This was a golden opportunity that would never come back. Finally, he had the chance to fill his stomach. Carefree was overjoyed. However, he still looked indifferent on the surface. He had the appearance of a supreme expert who said,"Everyone is drunk, but I'm the only one who's sober."
"This little brother has read a lot of books since he was young. I think I can recite all the books in the world, know the rites of the world, and sing the graceful chapters. But now, I've seen brother Xiaoyao's talent, I can't help but feel ashamed.”
Qiu Lan still had a smile on her face. Sigh, Carefree's hands were itching to beat him up. Beat him up until he couldn't take care of himself, beat him up until he was so beautiful. Ha, he was jealous.
"You're not. Friend, you're full of talent. With a glance, you can tell that you're a famous scholar.”
"You're welcome. You too." Hearing Carefree's praise, Qiu Lan was overjoyed and bowed repeatedly.
F * ck, who's being polite with you? Who's being polite with you? You're just a piece of trash. If it wasn't for the fact that I'm starving to death, who would be chatting with a pretty boy like you here? Carefree smiled back, but he cursed his ancestors in his heart. In fact, this was one of Carefree's extreme personalities. As long as he didn't like something, he would often show it. However, now that Carefree had a favor to ask of Qiu Lan, he couldn't show it. In the future, when Carefree was truly free and unfettered, his personality would be fully displayed.
"Brother Xiao Yao and I hit it off at first sight, so I invited you to the Drunken Wind Restaurant for a drink. I wonder if Brother Xiao Yao would do me the honor?”
I was waiting for you to say this!
Carefree deliberately put on a troubled expression and hesitated for a while before he said,""Alright, Xiaoyao and Brother Qiu hit it off, so please lead the way.”
"Brother Xiaoyao, please follow me." Qiu Lan was overjoyed.”After saying that, Qiu Lan and Carefree walked forward side by side.
On the way, Qiu Lan and Carefree talked about their understanding of poetry. Carefree had read a lot of books and had a thousand years of literary attainments, so he could naturally answer fluently. Qiu Lan clapped her hands and praised him from time to time. Carefree was cursing Qiu Lan in his heart because Qiu Lan was walking too slowly. One look and he could tell that she was the 'weak' type. However, Carefree was different. He had traveled a lot in that world, so his walking speed was naturally not slow. He had even entered a martial arts club to learn a few self-defense moves.
Carefree and Qiu Lan came to a big restaurant. Before Carefree could see the signboard of the restaurant, Qiu Lan turned to Carefree with a bitter face.
"Brother Xiaoyao, I'll be honest with you. This Qiu's trip was actually premeditated. This Qiu made a bet with a friend that whoever could match the first half of Miss Zi Ru's couplet would have to spend ten thousand taels of silver to help the poor.”Qiu Lan sighed and continued," But I'm not talented. The first half of the couplet that Miss Ziru mentioned is really difficult to match. I've been thinking hard for a few days before I can match one couplet. If I can't match the other two before the sun sets, then I'll be in trouble. Thus, I sincerely request Brother Xiaoyao to help me.”
In the beginning, Carefree's opinion of Qiu Lan changed greatly when he heard that the bet was to help the poor. However, the more he listened, the more he felt that it was not right. If he was not wrong, Qiu Lan and the others had a purpose for making this bet. It was very likely to please the woman named Zi Ru. In this way, Carefree hated Qiu Lan even more.
However, Carefree was the most rational person now. His stomach had been in turmoil for years, and he really couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food. The illusion of Peking Duck had already appeared in his mind.
"This is not a problem. Since Brother Qiu regards me as a friend, then I will naturally help you solve your problems.”
"I thank you."
Qiu Lan thanked him profusely. Her expression was very interesting, as if she had obtained a treasure. Look at her!
At this moment, Carefree finally saw the golden plaque of the restaurant: Drunken Wind Restaurant.
Drunken Wind Restaurant was very large and occupied a very wide area. It was a courtyard style restaurant. In the original world, it was a "five-star" restaurant. Drunken Wind Restaurant completely presented the unique style of Suzhou Gardens.
Carefree and Qiu Lan stepped into the high threshold of Drunken Wind Manor together. At this moment, Drunken Wind Manor was not the most lively place, but it was still filled with singing and dancing, the music of Xiao Zhu, the stringed instrument, and the sound of palace music and prostitutes.
Carefree knew that he couldn't show any surprise. Therefore, he could not look around like a country bumpkin entering the city, nor could he sigh at something.
"Aiya, it's Eldest Young Master Qiu. Why are you here so early? Miss Zi Ru still has to wait for a few hours before leaving.”
The person who came was a beautiful woman in her early thirties. She was somewhat beautiful and dressed boldly and fashionably. His movements were even more open, the two mountains on his chest shaking up and down from time to time, making him unable to help but let his imagination run wild and his interest high.
Carefree's eyes were very sharp. He saw that when this woman looked at Qiu Lan, her eyes revealed a trace of hatred and a trace of love. However, it was just a little bit. Ordinary people could not tell.
"Oh, this official is-"
Before Qiu Lan could introduce him, the woman had already sized him up from head to toe, making him feel uncomfortable. When she retracted her gaze, a hint of disdain appeared on her face. Carefree saw this and felt a subtle change in his heart. For some reason, he was disgusted by this gaze.
Qiu Lan didn't notice anything. He seemed to be a little apprehensive about this woman. He told the woman Carefree's name lightly, then took Carefree's hand and went straight upstairs. When he was halfway there, he turned around and said to the woman,"Hua Niang, prepare a table of wine and dishes. I want to have a big talk with Young Master Xiao Yao.”
Hua Niang looked at Qiu Lan with resentment and silently walked into the house.
Qiu Lan led Carefree upstairs and found a seat by the window. When the dishes were served, Qiu Lan raised her glass to Carefree and said,""Brother Xiaoyao, tonight's success or failure depends on you. This Qiu will first toast you to express my gratitude.”
Carefree smiled and raised his glass to Qiu Lan. After drinking a cup of wine, he couldn't go without food. Carefree ate elegantly while chatting with Qiu Lan. Time passed quickly.
"Brother Qiulan, I didn't expect you to come so early.”
After a few laughs, Carefree saw three rich young masters walking towards Qiu Lan. Their faces were pale as they walked with their hands behind their backs, as if no one in the world could enter their eyes. The three of them approached Qiu Lan together, their faces full of arrogance. They didn't even glance at Carefree.
"Brother Zhang, Brother Li, Brother Chen, you came just in time. Have you prepared the silver?”
Hearing Qiu Lan's tone, she could not help but feel a little teasing.
"Humph! We still don't know who will win."
The three of them were practically on the same page, and their expressions were the same. Hearing Qiu Lan's provocative words, they angrily turned around and sat down at the table.
