Chapter 62 What does pretentious mean? (Part 1)
Upon hearing this tempting suggestion, Young Master Guo's eyes lit up and said, "Exactly, exactly, drinking and visiting brothelsoops, I meant, seeking inspiration will come more quickly."
Young Master Guo accidentally spoke his true thoughts and felt a bit embarrassed. He quickly looked around and saw Lin San shaking his head and pretending not to hear, which made Young Master Guo secretly praise him. He thought, "This kid is clever and has potential."
"But how should I explain this to the teacher?" Young Master Guo frowned. He had received compliments from the teacher today and had been acting as a good student in front of the teacher and his cousin. Now, he actually felt a little reluctant to leave.
Lin Wanrong, of course, didn't want Young Master Guo to become a good student. If he were diligent and studious, wouldn't it affect Lin Wanrong as well?
"Young Master, your performance today should have satisfied the teacher. He shouldn't have any objections. Besides, we're going out to find inspiration, not to do anything bad. What's there to be afraid of?" Lin Wanrong said righteously.
"Yes, yes, we're going to find inspiration," Young Master Guo comforted himself.
Taking advantage of the teacher's absence, the two of them sneaked out of the study room. Lin Wanrong led the way, and Young Master Guo followed behind, both heading towards "inspiration."
After walking only a few steps in the courtyard, Lin Wanrong heard a voice from behind, "Lin San, where are you going?" Turning his head, he saw the unfriendly Chief Steward Wang.
Recalling that Chief Steward Wang dared to give him a hard time, Lin Wanrong had an idea and loudly said, "Oh, it's Chief Steward Wang. I'm following Young Master's orders to run an errand."
"Young Master? Which Young Master?" Chief Steward Wang, who hadn't seen Young Master Guo sneakily following behind, asked casually.
"It's Guo Wuchang, Young Master Guo," Lin Wanrong pretended to be respectful.
"Oh, it's him. Just a relative by marriage, no need to call him Young Master. You should focus on doing your job for the Xiao family. As for that outsider Young Master, you don't need to worry about him," Chief Steward Wang lectured him.
Seeing the furious, twisted face of Young Master Guo behind Chief Steward Wang, Lin Wanrong tried his best to suppress his laughter and said, "Well, about that"
"Damn it, you bastard" Young Master Guo couldn't hold back his anger any longer, charging forward and giving Chief Steward Wang a strong elbow strike.
Feeling the pain, Chief Steward Wang turned his head and saw that it was indeed Young Master Guo, the relative by marriage. He then realized that he had fallen for Lin Wanrong's trick.
Although Young Master Guo was just a relative by marriage, he was the Madam's nephew and the son of a county magistrate, which made him half a master of the Xiao family. Despite being seen as a weakling by servants and maids, he was still a half-master and shouldn't be treated so casually.
Having lived in the Xiao Mansion for many years, Young Master Guo hated it when people didn't treat him as a master. Being in a bad mood today and hearing Chief Steward Wang's words, he couldn't help but lose his temper. He kicked and punched Chief Steward Wang, leaving him bruised and battered.
In such an unfortunate situation, even the housekeeper of the Xiao Mansion had no choice but to protect his face, letting Young Master Guo beat him up without daring to make a sound.
There were many servants and maids coming and going, and seeing Young Master Guo beating Chief Steward Wang with Lin San, the top servant of the Xiao family, standing nearby, they all watched the commotion from a distance.
The story of the master beating the servant spread quickly throughout the Xiao family.
Seeing Chief Steward Wang with a swollen face, lying on the ground and groaning, Lin Wanrong pretended to be compassionate and said to Young Master Guo, "Young Master, it was an unintentional mistake by Chief Steward Wang. Let's spare him this time. We should hurry up and find 'inspiration.'"
Young Master Guo finally stopped, gave Chief Steward Wang a fierce look, and kicked him in the stomach before feeling somewhat relieved. He thought, "If only this servant named Wang were half as clever as Lin San, I wouldn't be so angry."
Feeling refreshed after beating someone up, Young Master Guo looked at Lin San appreciatively, patted Lin Wanrong's shoulder, and said, "Let's go, have funuh, I mean, let's go find inspiration."
As the two left, it was now Young Master Guo's turn to lead the way. Lin Wanrong was familiar with only a few places in Jinling City, such as the Xuanwu Lake and the Xiao family residence. He had never been to places where "inspiration" could be found. However, when he was a sales manager, he used to accompany clients to such places five days a week. He felt somewhat ashamed to rely on others to guide him now.
As evening approached, Young Master Guo grabbed Lin Wanrong and said, "Lin San, since you've been so loyal today, I'll reward you. I'll take you to a great place to have some fun."
"Oh, Young Master, as long as it's a place that can help inspire you, even if it's a place of danger, I'm willing to go with you," Lin Wanrong said with a lascivious smile.
Young Master Guo laughed heartily and said, "Exactly! As long as it brings inspiration, who cares what kind of place it is?"
"Young Master is wise," Lin Wanrong said, giving him a thumbs-up.
Pleased with Lin Wanrong's flattery, Young Master Guo leaned in and whispered, "Lin San, have you ever heard of Miaoyu Pavilion?"
Miaoyu Pavilion? Lin Wanrong hadn't heard of it before, but the name alone suggested what kind of place it was. He was unfamiliar with the pleasure houses in Jinling City, so he felt like a newcomer.
Young Master Guo smiled mysteriously, giving Lin Wanrong a look that suggested he wouldn't have been there before. How could a servant like him know the location of such extravagant establishments? The twelve beauties of Jinling and the charm of Qinhuai River had been renowned since ancient times.
Miaoyu Pavilion was the largest brothel by the Qinhuai River. The girls there were not only beautiful but also possessed exceptional skills. Some could sing, some could dance, and others were proficient in playing the flute.
"What's even more amazing is that Miaoyu Pavilion recently welcomed a new courtesan who not only possesses celestial beauty but also astonishing talent. What's even rarer is that she's said to be chaste, only selling her art, not her body. Since I'm in a good mood today, I'll take you to see her," Young Master Guo said unabashedly.
A courtesan in a brothel? Celestial beauty? Selling art but not her body? That sounded interesting. If she also had a hidden identity as a chivalrous or enchantress, that would make a great story.
Lin Wanrong grinned, thinking that Young Master Guo seemed to have a deep understanding of pleasure-seeking.
"How about it? Are you interested?" Seeing Lin Wanrong's sly smile, Young Master Guo thought he was intrigued and asked deliberately.
Lin Wanrong chuckled and asked, "Young Master, how much silver would it cost to spend a night with this courtesan?"
Young Master Guo was taken aback by the question from this lowly servant. However, he wasn't a scholar and didn't mind such crude talk. He laughed and said, "Even if you have the silver, you wouldn't be able to sleep with her. She's chaste and has high standards. She meets many talented young men every day, but I've never heard of anyone becoming her special guest."
