The Moon Shadow Pavilion had a total of three floors and occupied a rather large area.
As a famous brothel in Chang 'an, the girls inside were versatile.
It attracted countless dignitaries.
It was said that the Moon Shadow Pavilion was the business of the Pei family in the east of the river in Chang 'an.
Although the Pei family didn't belong to the Seven Sects and Five Families, they had produced many high officials and had a good reputation.
The middle of every floor of the Moon Shadow Pavilion was empty. Standing on the ground floor, one could see the ceiling of the top floor.
Every floor was surrounded by fences.
In the second floor of the pavilion.
It was so lively to drink and have fun.
A silkpants called Chai Zhewen smiled at the muscular youth opposite him and said,"Cheng Chuliang, I'm just asking if you dare to bet with me?”
"Do you dare to arm wrestle with Miss Ruhua?”
The robust youth said in a muffled voice,"Bet!" Whoever loses will be the grandson! Call him grandpa!"
"Alright!" Chai Zhewen laughed loudly.
The two youths who made the bet were the sons of Duke Huo Chai Shao and Duke Lu Cheng Yaojin.
Cheng Chuliang regretted it as soon as he finished speaking.
But in front of so many people, he could not admit defeat.
Otherwise, if word got out, would he still be able to survive in the circle of rich second-generation heirs in Chang 'an?
However, Miss Hua Hua was famous for her strength in the Moon Shadow Pavilion.
As mentioned before, the Moon Shadow Pavilion was the most famous brothel in Chang 'an, and the girls there were good at literature and martial arts.
The officials and nobles who came here for fun had different hobbies, but they were all satisfied.
If Ruyan Liu was the top courtesan of the Moon Shadow Pavilion, then Ruhua was the top martial courtesan of the Moon Shadow Pavilion.
The former was because no customer had ever seen its true appearance, while the latter was because no one had ever won in a fight of strength.
Of course, the rumors were exaggerated, not to mention that Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin, and the others did not care about it and did not compete.
How could those soldiers who came here for pleasure not have brute strength?
However, to be able to spread such a reputation, it was enough to show that Miss Hua Hua was indeed capable.
Chai Zhewen didn't say anything and immediately sent someone to call Miss Hua over for a competition.
It was said that someone wanted to compete with Miss Ruhua. This news had poked a hornet's nest.
Many busybodies gathered around.
Cheng Chuliang was even more embarrassed.
But who said that a tiger father would not have a dog son? He, Cheng Chuliang, was the first to stand up and object.
Cheng Chuliang had a headache.
On the other side, Li Qin and Fang Xiaoshang had just entered.
Li Qin, who was dressed up beautifully, could be said to be proud of himself. It was as if he had already seen himself drinking and singing with Miss Liu, regretting not meeting her earlier.
The corners of his mouth could not help but curl up into a smile.
After entering, Fang Xiaoshang was attracted by the commotion on the second floor. When he asked around, his eyes lit up.
"Young Master Li, let's go and watch the show."”
It was also Li Qin's first time coming to such a place, so he was naturally filled with curiosity and did not refuse.
At this time, Fang Xiaoshang gave Li Qin a brief introduction of the heroic deeds of the flower-like girl.
Li Qin smiled and shook his head, thinking that it was probably just a rumor.
However, he couldn't help but feel curious.
Chai Zhewen and Cheng Chuliang were already surrounded by people.
Li Qin and Fang Xiaoshang stood at the edge and saw the strong youth with a nervous expression.
It seemed that this was the son of State Duke Lu, Cheng Chuliang.
"Excuse me, Miss Ruhua is here.”
Following a surprised voice, Li Qin looked in the direction of the voice and immediately widened his eyes.
Good boy.
Are you sure this big and muscular woman is a woman?
Subconsciously, Li Qin thought of the beautiful girl in the movie from his previous life.
However, from afar, his facial features were quite good-looking.
It was just that his body had become much stronger.
Looking at Cheng Chuliang, the gap between them was obvious, and he silently mourned in his heart.
Seeing the giant sitting down, Cheng Chuliang's heart trembled and his face was filled with despair.
"You're the one who wants to compete with me in strength?”The flower-like girl moved her head left and right, making cracking sounds.
Cheng Chuliang trembled, and even his tone was not confident." If…I say no, would you believe me?”
Chai Zhewen burst out laughing like thunder. He looked at Cheng Chuliang and teased,"Liangzi, are you scared?"
"If you're scared, just say it."
Cheng Chuliang had a fiery temper. Being provoked, he immediately glared at her and placed his right arm on the table."I'm not afraid."
"Come! It's me!"
The flower-like girl sized up Cheng Chuliang and smiled."Thank you for letting me win."
He clenched his hands and felt the strength of a savage beast. He looked at his wrists that were thicker than his own.
Cheng Chuliang suddenly woke up.
F * ck! It was too hasty!
"Three, two, one."
Chai Zhewen wouldn't give Cheng Chuliang a chance to retort. The friendship between boys was to be each other's father!
Moreover, it was his grandfather this time!
His palm slapped the table along with the slogan.
"Cheng Chuliang, it's starting."”
Chai Zhewen suddenly called out to him.
Cheng Chuliang subconsciously wanted to answer, but before he could, he said,
He felt his arm go numb, and a cold breeze blew against his face.
When she came back to her senses, the back of her right hand was already pressed against the table.
What the f * ck? What happened?
Cheng Chuliang was dumbfounded.
"No, no. I was careless this time.”Cheng Chuliang was unconvinced and waved his hand." Chai Zhewen, you're cheating."”
Chai Zhewen shrugged and said,"All is fair in war."”
Ruhua also knew that Cheng Chuliang wasn't ready, so she said,""Then two out of three."
After the competition just now, Cheng Chuliang actually knew that if he started again, he would not be able to win.
He was extremely unwilling. He wasn't really going to call Chai Zhewen his grandfather today, right?
"I won't compete. I'm not in a good state today."”
Chai Zhewen was dissatisfied and argued.
Cheng Chuliang stiffened his neck and was unwilling.
It was better to admit defeat than to call this kid grandpa.
Li Qin gently touched Fang Xiaoshang's hand with his arm and whispered,""Lord Fang, do you think Young Master Cheng can win?”
Fang Xiaoshang saw the scene just now and smiled. He said in a firm tone,"I can't."
In fact, if it was a serious comparison, Cheng Chuliang would not have lost so easily.
But the result was destined to be the same.
Li Qin said,"Do you want to make a bet? Coincidentally, my Du Wine House will be opening in a few days. We really don't have enough manpower."”
"If I lose, in the future, Lord Fang will come to my winery for free three times.”
"If I win, how about Lord Fang help me entertain my guests for three days?”
"Oh?" Fang Xiaoshang raised his eyebrows. Was Young Master Li sure that Young Master Cheng would win?”
Li Qin nodded." We will definitely win."”
In fact, there was a difference in strength between Ruhua and Cheng Chuliang, but it was not big.
As long as he knew some techniques, it was not impossible to win.
"This young master sure has big words.”
"Why don't I make a bet with you?"
Before Fang Xiaoshang could speak, an old voice suddenly sounded from behind.
The two of them looked in the direction of the voice. Fang Xiaoshang was shocked and hurriedly bowed,"Pei…"
"Don't make a sound." With one hand behind his back, the old man waved his other hand to interrupt Fang Xiaoshang.
This old man was the current Prime Minister, Pei Ji.
Pei Ji shouldn't have appeared at such an occasion with his status, but recently, the Emperor had been intentionally or unintentionally finding trouble with him in the Imperial Court.
In his depression, he wanted to take a break. The Moon Shadow Pavilion was the Pei family's property.
He simply came here to drink and relieve his boredom. Coincidentally, he encountered such a lively event.
He knew that Ruhua had great strength. Although it wasn't to an astonishing extent, it wasn't a problem for her to defeat Cheng Chuliang.
Li Qin didn't know Pei Ji's identity, but since there was someone rushing to do work for him, he wouldn't reject anyone.
"It's a deal then," he said immediately.
At this moment, a gong sounded from the top floor.
Along with the lively music, a huge scroll unfolded from top to bottom.
However, what was written on it was Li Qin's When the Bright Moon Appears.
"Look! Miss Liu is out!"
"Eh, that's not right. This is When the Bright Moon Appears.”
"In the past, wasn't it always Miss Liu who was the top half while we were the bottom half?”
The crowd became restless, and some sharp-eyed people took the lead to shout.
Li Qin raised his head slightly to look at the third floor and saw a figure dressed in red walking over leisurely.
There was a gauze curtain in front of him, so his face could not be seen clearly.
Behind the gauze curtain, a servant hurriedly prepared something that looked like a musical instrument.
Ruyan Liu came out. This was the annual event of the Moon Shadow Pavilion.
The crowd dispersed and no longer surrounded the area.
A servant walked out from behind the curtain, cleared his throat, and said,""Lady Liu has been very fond of this long and short poem recently. Therefore, everyone present today can express to their heart's content.”
"If you can come up with a poem that Miss Liu likes, you will be invited by Miss Liu.”
Li Qin, who had been staring at the figure, had a deep doubt in his heart, and his brows were slightly furrowed.
This figure seemed familiar.
Seeing this, Pei Ji smiled." It seems that today is really a bad day. May I know your name, Young Master?"”
"How about I let Ruhua and Cheng Chuliang go to the residence together to compete?”
Actually, Cheng Chuliang had already noticed the situation here. When he heard Pei Ji's words, he secretly complained endlessly in his heart.
He had seen Pei Ji before. Since Lord Pei had already said so, how could he dare to say anything else?
He then looked at Li Qin, who was in a daze, with resentment in his eyes.
Chai Shaowen was secretly delighted, thinking that he would not be able to run away from the word 'grandpa'.
At this moment, Li Qin was still staring at that beautiful figure, his mind frantically thinking about where he had seen her before.
Fang Xiaoshang saw that Li Qin did not react and hurriedly poked Li Qin.
Li Qin seemed to wake up from a dream and hurriedly told him his name and address.
He didn't notice how Cheng Chuliang addressed him.
"Li Qin."
Pei Ji's eyes narrowed. He knew this name from the palace banquet.
"I'm Pei Wuheng," he said calmly.”
He hid his name. As for the reason, he naturally had his own thoughts.
Fang Xiaoshang, Cheng Chuliang, and the others couldn't expose him.
The few of them exchanged pleasantries and agreed to hold this competition on the day the wine shop opened.
First, it was Li Qin's selfishness. After all, the wine shop had reopened. Using this as a gimmick could attract some customers.
Secondly, Pei Ji really didn't have the time. After all, the monk Faya's matter was already enough to make him anxious.
