“All what?”
Everyone craned their necks, awaiting the continuation.
“All are captivated by him, no, they are driven mad. In just a few days, many have offered their entire fortunes just to spend a night with this handsome man. However… this handsome man has never been moved.”
Hearing Li Jing’s words, everyone became very curious about this mysterious, peerlessly handsome man.
Even Nian Jiaojiao couldn’t help but want to see him.
However, thinking of the aesthetic standards of this Great Yue Dynasty, Nian Jiaojiao’s interest immediately waned.
Just as everyone was guessing how handsome that man must be, a commotion arose from outside the private room.
“It’s! It’s Young Master Mei Ye who has come out!”
Nian Jiaojiao exchanged glances with everyone, and the next moment they all rose and went to the corridor outside.
Nian Jiaojiao looked down and saw a man dressed in black gauze sitting on a round stage below, playing the zither. His face was obscured by a light veil, and his features could not be seen clearly.
However, whether it was an illusion or not, for a few seconds, she seemed to have made eye contact with this “peerlessly handsome man.”
After listening to the zither music for a while, Nian Jiaojiao felt that although the other party’s zither music was indeed beautiful, it was not as beautiful as Miss Wushuang’s zither music from the Niao Niao Teahouse that day. Moreover, the man’s face couldn’t even be seen clearly. She truly wondered how everyone had judged him as “peerless.”
Just as she turned to look at Li Jing beside her, wanting to ask “how can you tell with his face,” she found the other party looking entranced…
No.
It was more like being bewitched.
And when she looked at the faces of her other classmates, she found that everyone had a similar expression.
In fact, everyone in the Hundred Herbs Pavilion was like this!
Nian Jiaojiao’s heart sounded an alarm.
What was going on?
There was something wrong with this zither music!
As the music approached its finale, the zither notes became increasingly dense, and Nian Jiaojiao’s vigilance reached a new level.
However, just as Nian Jiaojiao was hesitating whether to jump down and interrupt the performer directly, the zither music suddenly stopped.
And everyone present as if waking from a dream, looked at the man on stage with changed eyes, their gazes becoming infatuated.
“Beautiful, so beautiful…”
Li Jing, next to Nian Jiaojiao, murmured.
Others also offered words of praise.
Nian Jiaojiao felt that this man was not simple, so she said to Li Jing:
“Sister Li, it’s getting late. Why don’t we go back and rest today? We have to attend classes tomorrow.”
Unexpectedly, when everyone heard her words, they all wore expressions that seemed to say, “Are you even a woman?”
“Sister Nian, seeing Young Master Ye Mei perform is a rare opportunity. Don’t waste it.”
The other classmates also advised her one after another.
“Yes, yes.”
“It doesn’t matter if we go back a little later…”
“Haha, Nian Tong Shou, you’re not still afraid of your wife, are you?”
Nian Jiaojiao: …
I’m trying to save you all…
At this moment, the young attendant who was carrying the zither for Young Master Ye Mei stepped forward and spoke, “Today, our Young Master wishes to select a young lady from among you for a private talk.”
Upon hearing this, the entire venue erupted in excitement.
At this moment, the hand that had grabbed Nian Jiaojiao’s arm tightened. Li Jing looked down, without turning her head, and said, “Sister Nian, if you really leave now, we will suspect you are not a real woman!”
“How do you know? Actually, I am a man…”
Nian Jiaojiao said this calmly, and then, under the stunned gazes of her classmates, she pried Li Jing’s fingers away and turned to walk downstairs.
She wanted to leave now.
For some reason, she had a strong premonition.
The other party was coming for her!
As expected, just as she went down the stairs and prepared to walk towards the entrance, the attendant pointed at Nian Jiaojiao and said, “It’s this young lady. Congratulations, Miss, you can go inside for an all-night talk with the Young Master.”
Nian Jiaojiao’s body stiffened. She pretended not to know the attendant was referring to her and forced herself to walk out.
However, she did not expect the attendant to be so persistent:
“It’s the young lady wearing the blue and white pear blossom robe who is walking out. Don’t leave!”
Nian Jiaojiao did not stop.
“Miss, could it be that you look down on our Young Master?”
With such a targeted remark from the attendant, how could anyone not know who had been chosen?
And when everyone heard the word “look down upon,” Nian Jiaojiao had incurred the wrath of the crowd.
Everyone stood up and blocked Nian Jiaojiao’s path, looking at her with angry expressions and saying:
“Little girl, it is your fortune that Young Master Ye Mei has noticed you. Don’t be ungrateful!”
“Exactly! If you offend Young Master Ye Mei, you offend us all! Everyone, isn’t that right?”
“Yes!”
“Yes!”
Nian Jiaojiao: …
I came to a pleasure house, why do I feel like I’m being forced into prostitution?
Seeing that Nian Jiaojiao had angered the crowd, Li Jing and the others also quickly came down and stood beside Nian Jiaojiao.
She said to the crowd:
“My Sister Nian is in a hurry to get home and didn’t know that Young Master Ye Mei had chosen her. What, are you trying to pick a fight? Then we’ll have to see if the Chen family of Qingzhou agrees!”
Upon hearing the name of the Chen family of Qingzhou, the anger that had just flared was extinguished. And looking at the group beside Li Jing, each of them looked rich and noble.
They couldn’t afford to offend them.
At this moment, Li Jing whispered into Nian Jiaojiao’s ear:
“Sister Nian, you are truly something! To come up with this method to attract Young Master Mei Ye’s attention, how could I not have thought of it!”
After saying this, Li Jing showed a look of regret.
When everyone was standing still, the person who moved was bound to be noticed!
Having learned from it, Li Jing, despite her reluctance, pushed Nian Jiaojiao forward, saying with a hint of sourness:
“I wish you a memorable night.”
Nian Jiaojiao: !!!
You’re setting me up!
Nian Jiaojiao looked with difficulty at the man in black gauze on the stage. His phoenix eyes made her a little lost.
The man in black gauze glanced at her, then turned and walked upstairs. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Behind her, the sounds of Li Jing and the others’ disappointed shouts could be heard:
“Go on! Hurry up!”
Nian Jiaojiao: …
…
Nian Jiaojiao reluctantly followed the attendant to the door of Young Master Mei Ye’s boudoir. The attendant stood outside the door and said:
“The Young Master wishes to bathe and change first. You can go in later.”
Nian Jiaojiao swallowed.
Bathe…
Change…
What did he want to do?
She was not a casual person!
Just as Nian Jiaojiao’s thoughts ran wild, the attendant pushed the door open and said:
“Miss, you can go in now.”
Thus, Nian Jiaojiao puffed up her chest and stepped into Young Master Mei Ye’s boudoir as if prepared for death.
Just like Young Master Ye Mei’s attire, black gauze curtains hung to the floor inside the room. The incense in the room was faint but carried a seductive scent. The carved windows were tightly shut, and there was a daybed by the window.
A stunningly beautiful man was reclining on the daybed, his ink-like black hair spread across the bed. His eyes were slightly closed, and his lips had a peach-like hue, exuding an ambiguous and decadent aura.
