Jia Jun walked out of the small hall and checked his gains from this trip in his mind.
When he saw the huge " 1164 " in the Emotional Value column on the System Interface, he was instantly overjoyed. He did not expect that this wave of birthday gifts would actually bring him 1000 points.
And what he paid was just a few Emotional Value points to exchange for ordinary items. At this rate, he would be able to get 20000 Emotional Value very soon.
After closing the system panel, he suppressed the joy in his heart and left the Jia residence.
After coming to ancient times, how could he not take a good look at this world?
Not long after leaving the Jia residence, he came to a wide street. Pedestrians shuttled on the road, and there were many shops on the roadside. It was a prosperous scene.
He observed the pedestrians and saw that most of them were well-dressed and had ruddy faces. It was obvious that they were living a good life.
After strolling on the streets for a while, he did earn some Emotional Value, but the number was very small. Most of them were only one or two points, and almost all the contributions were from women.
As expected, it wasn't reliable to rely on " brushing his face " to obtain a large amount of Emotional Value.
At noon, Jia Jun walked into a restaurant called "Drunken Immortal Residence".
Taverns and teahouses had always been a place where information gathered. He wanted to hear what kind of structure this world had.
The Book of the Dream of the Red Chamber did not specifically describe which dynasty the story took place in, and there was very little information in his mind about this. He only knew that the current name of the country was Zhou. The Great Zhou Dynasty had inherited the Ming Dynasty and had ruled the country for more than 100 years. After five dynasties, it was now the sixth emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, and the year name was Taichang.
Other than that, he was practically blind and did not know anything.
When he arrived at the restaurant, he did not go to the private room. Instead, he chose a seat by the window in the hall and sat down. He ordered a few dishes and a pot of wine. As he ate, he listened to the conversations around him.
After listening for a while, he shook his head and chuckled. He didn't hear what he wanted to hear, but he heard a lot of what he didn't want to hear. There wasn't much talk about state affairs, and most of it was about romantic things.
There was a lot of gossip about Qingxuan or Lan Xin being the number one courtesan in the capital, about a beautiful courtesan coming to Yicui Brothel recently, about Princess Yongning looking for a son-in-law, and so on. There was a lot of gossip, but no one talked about serious matters.
However, no news was still news. At least, this indirectly reflected that the world was at peace and there should be no war. The main conflict should still be in the court. These things were not something that ordinary people could come into contact with.
Just as Jia Jun was thinking about all kinds of things, the sound of cups and plates falling suddenly came from upstairs. Then, with an "Aiyo" sound, a figure rolled down the stairs and fell heavily to the ground.
The crowd in the hall immediately became restless. Suddenly, someone laughed and said,
"Haha, isn't this the Dumb Tyrant? Weren't you always arrogant? Why did you get beaten up today?”
Dumb Overlord?
Jia Jun's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Wasn't this Xue Pan's nickname?
Xue Pan was Xue Baochai's brother and the head of the Xue family. However, he was a typical hedonistic young master. He had no ability at all, let alone business. He only knew how to indulge in sensual pleasures. Moreover, he had done a lot of bullying. The beautiful maid Xiang Ling was forcefully bought by him, and for this reason, he even connived at her and beat her to death.
Xue Pan fell down and was temporarily unable to get up.
At this moment, two people walked down the stairs. The one in front was a handsome young master dressed in luxurious clothes. Behind him was an old man with a thin face.
Seeing the two of them appear, the originally noisy hall instantly became quiet.
Jia Jun's heart jumped. Could it be that this person's identity was extraordinary?
The young master walked down the stairs and stepped on Xue Pan's stomach. He said coldly,"Big fool, I only gave you a light punishment this time. If there's a next time, I'll take your dog life!”
Xue Pan blinked and spat out a mouthful of saliva. At the same time, he struggled violently.
However, he could not break free from the young master's feet. Helpless, he could only shout,"Xia Quan, Zhao Liu, where are you guys? He's dead!"
Following his words, a few servants rushed in from outside the door. When they saw Xue Pan being stepped on the ground, they were immediately furious. The leader picked up a stool and rushed in.
Jia Jun's heart skipped a beat. He knew that he could not let the situation escalate. It did not matter if Xue Pan, this evil young master, was beaten to death. The key was that this matter was very likely to implicate the Jia family. Besides, he was Xue Baochai's brother, so saving him would be a favor to Xue Baochai.
He immediately stood up and quickly stopped those servants. He snatched the stool from the leader's hand and slapped him in the face.
His body had been modified by the system. Even if he wasn't an expert, it wouldn't be a problem for him to take down a few ordinary people, especially when he was sneak attacking.
"You, who are you?" The servant was stunned by the slap.
"Get lost!" Jia Jun shouted at him.”
When those few people saw Jia Jun's peerless handsomeness, luxurious clothing, and extremely imposing manner, they immediately hesitated.
Jia Jun did not care about them and went straight to the young master. He cupped his hands at him and said,"I hope Young Master can forgive me for my lack of manners.”
The young master sized up Jia Jun and suddenly laughed."What a handsome lady. Come, smile for me.”
Jia Jun's face was instantly filled with black lines. What was going on? Was he being teased?
