"Yes, supper."
He Shen nodded and looked at the brothel madame with hope.
To be honest, he came to Spring Breeze Courtyard not only because he was curious to see how beautiful this famous Chen Yuanyuan was, but also because he wanted to have dinner.
The poor He Shen had been robbed by bandits, leaving him with no money for food and lodging. He had been starving for more than a day.
He had been sitting in the corner just now. He had wanted to eat and drink when no one was paying attention, but who knew that the fatty at the same table as him was more stingy than a miser. Other than ordering a pot of wine, he didn't order anything else.
He would feel embarrassed if he went to another table.
Therefore, when he heard that if he could answer the second question of tonight's poetry meet, he would get the chance to share supper with Chen Yuanyuan, he made up his mind to answer the second question of tonight's poetry meet.
As for his defeat against Mu Wenfu and the competition of "composing poems in three steps" and "composing poems consecutively", it was Mu Wenfu who provoked him first, which was why he decided to retaliate.
He Shen was not a person without a temper. Since Mu Wenfu challenged him in front of everyone, he naturally had to retaliate.
"Yes, of course there is. As long as Young Master He Shen comes with me, there will definitely be supper.”
The brothel madame was stunned for a moment before she laughed.
Logically speaking, a talented scholar like He Shen should not be short of money.
Although she didn't know what He Shen meant by this, she had been a brothel keeper for so many years, so she naturally knew that she had to speak human language when she saw people and speak nonsense when she saw ghosts. She quickly followed He Shen's words.
"Then let's go."
He Shen nodded and stood up.
"Please follow me."
The brothel madame instructed before turning around and walking upstairs.
Thus, under the envious and jealous gazes of hundreds of people, He Shen and the brothel madame went upstairs.
The brothel madame brought Heshen up to the third floor.
Looking at the quiet corridor, He Shen guessed that the third floor might be the room for his own people in Spring Breeze Courtyard.
The brothel madame brought He Shen to the end of the corridor, which seemed to be the largest room.
The two maids, Yin Ling and Jin Chai, who had just appeared on the first floor, were already waiting at the door.
"Young Master, please!"
Seeing He Shen brought by the brothel madame, the two beautiful handmaidens, Yin Ling and Jin Chai, sized He Shen up from the corner of their eyes as they extended their hands to welcome him.
Yinling and Jinchai thought, Is this the person who defeated Jiangxi's number one genius Yu Minzhong, Guangdong's number one genius Zhuang Yougong, and one of Jiangnan's four great geniuses, He Shen gongzi? You're indeed a good-looking man."
Although they had observed He Shen from a distance, they were still too far away.
The He Shen of his youth had a pair of bright eyes and delicate features. In addition to his elegant temperament, he was really a handsome youth.
"Young Master, please go in. Miss Chen Yuanyuan is inside.”
Seeing the two maids, Yin Ling and Jin Chai, waiting at the door, the brothel madame led He Shen into the room and said goodbye.
"Alright."
He Shen nodded and waited for the brothel madame to leave before turning around and stepping into the room.
This was a rectangular room with an area of about 80 meters. The room was filled with wooden furniture. The walls of the room were hung with poems, calligraphy, and paintings. It was obvious that the owner liked these.
He Shen discovered that among these paintings, there were the most poems and paintings about plum blossoms and lotus flowers.
A few steps forward, there was a very large circular archway. What blocked the archway was a folding yellow pear landscape painting screen that was two meters high and five feet wide.
He Shen saw that behind the screen, there was a silhouette of a peerless beauty sitting there.
He Shen couldn't help but sniffle because the entire room was filled with the unique fragrance of food.
He Shen quickly walked around the screen.
He saw a round sandalwood table behind the screen. There were more than ten dishes on the table, and the beauty he saw just now was sitting beside it.
The hungry He Shen couldn't care less about the beauty waiting at the side.
He immediately found an empty seat and sat down. He picked up the chopsticks that he had prepared and picked up the delicacies on the table, stuffing them into his mouth.
Just as she was about to make her preparations, Chen Yuanyuan, who was being talked to by He Shen, saw that she was like a hungry ghost who had reincarnated. She had been minding her own business as soon as she came in, as if she had not seen her He Shen at all. She could not help but widen her beautiful eyes, her eyes filled with surprise.
If it wasn't for the fact that she had vaguely observed He Shen through the curtains and remembered He Shen's silhouette, confirming that it was He Shen himself who had entered the room, Chen Yuanyuan would have thought that it was someone else who had entered her room.
Immediately, Chen Yuanyuan felt a tinge of embarrassment and anger. There had never been a man who sat in front of her and could ignore her beauty.
However, the man in front of her was so focused on eating that he completely ignored her existence.
It was as if he had defeated three scholars in a row and won tonight's poetry meet either for her or for this banquet.
Chen Yuanyuan did not know that this was the main reason why He Shen was determined to win this poetry competition.
After eating for a while, He Shen's hunger was slightly alleviated. He then slowed down his eating speed and looked up at Chen Yuanyuan, who was sitting beside him and watching him eat without saying a word.
In front of him, less than a meter away from him, sat an elegant, peerless beauty in a white dress with full breasts.
Her skin was snow-white, as if it was made of white jade.
Her eyebrows curved and her eyes were as clear as spring water as she looked at him quietly.
Her hair was as soft as a waterfall, falling around her body.
Her facial features were exquisite, as if she had been pitied by the Creator. She was extremely beautiful.
He Shen swore that the beautiful female stars in the movies and television in his previous life were not even 10 - 20% as beautiful as this beauty in front of him.
Every move of the beauty in front of him seemed to have a soul-stirring aura that made people involuntarily look at her and sink their minds into it.
"No wonder Chen Yuanyuan was able to cause the replacement of two dynasties in history. No matter which man saw her, he would want to completely occupy her.”
He Shen looked at the beauty in front of him and sighed in his heart.
"I'm sorry, Miss Chen. On my way to the capital, I encountered bandits and all my silver was stolen. I haven't eaten for more than a day. When I saw the table full of wine and food, I couldn't help but be rude.”
He Shen quickly explained as if he saw the anger in the depths of her eyes.
"I see."
Hearing He Shen's explanation, Chen Yuanyuan was relieved.
So it wasn't that she wasn't attractive, but because He Shen hadn't eaten for more than a day, that was why He Shen had ignored her beauty.
