Fortunate Young Gentleman

Tang Ning realized that she had misunderstood Mr. Tang.

Although the name "Hongxiu Pavilion" sounds a bit like a brothel, it is actually not a brothel, at least not on the surface.

The guests downstairs were dressed luxuriously and looked very elegant. They were just listening to the music and watching the dances. There was no erotic atmosphere at all, but elegance was everywhere.

This made Tang Ning more and more curious. The rich man Tang who opened a high-end club was more surprising than the rich man Tang who opened a brothel.

A spacious and luxurious room upstairs.

The manager of Hongxiu Pavilion looked at Tang Ning and asked, "Do you have any other orders, Master?"

"No more." Tangning shook her head, feeling a little strange about the shopkeeper's overly respectful attitude. After thinking about it, she asked, "Is there anything wrong with the guy downstairs?"

The shopkeeper bowed and said, "Don't worry, young master, I will handle it well."

Tangning looked at him and couldn't help being surprised.

He had just met the young man downstairs who couldn't get up just this morning. When he was receiving the examination certificate at the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, he was in front of him. The official of the Ministry of Rites treated him with great respect. It was obvious that he had a good status.

Being called "young master" means that he should be a child of a prince's family, but the fat shopkeeper doesn't seem to care about it at all.

Tang Ning didn't know whether he overestimated the young master's background or underestimated the manager of the Red Sleeve Pavilion.

The shopkeeper bowed to him and said, "If the young master has no other instructions, I will leave first."

Tangning walked to the door with him and saw the old beggar leaning against the wall, looking at several women not far away with curious eyes, and occasionally picking up his crotch, looking extremely obscene.

The shopkeeper of Hongxiu Pavilion bowed his hands to him and said, "Young master, if you have any requests, you can give them at any time."

"Any request?" The old beggar's eyes lit up, he pointed at a few women not far away, looked at him and said, "Let them come and dance in my room."

Tang Ning secretly cursed the old man for being dishonest. She waved her hand to the shopkeeper and said, "It's okay. You can go about your business."

The old beggar watched with regret as the women returned to their respective rooms, looked around again, and said, "This place is nice. Your little sweetheart treats you very well."

"What kind of little lover is this?"

"That long-legged girl..."

When did Fairy Tang become his sweetheart? The crooked old guy was always slanderous. Tang Ning glanced at him and said, "Go back to your room and tidy up. We'll go down for dinner later."

When he came up just now, he saw that wine and food were provided here.

Downstairs, the young man sat back down and saw the eyes of the people around him glancing at him intentionally or unintentionally. There seemed to be a smile on his face. He slammed the table, stood up, looked around, and said angrily: "Look. What are you looking at? If you look at it again, I’ll dig out your eyes!”

After cursing like this, seeing everyone looking away and not daring to look again, he sat down again and glanced upward, his expression a little depressed, but also vaguely expectant.

When Tang Ning and the old beggar Peng Chen came down from upstairs and found a table to sit down, the young man immediately came over.

Although he was still angry at the old guy for exposing his scar just now, his hidden disease had never been told to any outsiders, and even the imperial doctor could not diagnose it. However, he could see it at a glance, which was enough to prove that this person was extraordinary.

He looked at the old beggar and whispered: "Old man, what you just said... is there anything you can do?"

"Of course there is a way." The old beggar looked at him and said, "It's just that I helped you, what benefits can you give me?"

The young man's eyes lit up and he immediately asked: "What benefits does the old man want?"

This was to admit that what the old beggar had just said was right. Tang Ning couldn't help but take a second look at the young man. People can't be judged by appearance, and sea water cannot be measured. This young man looks handsome and has extraordinary bearing. But who would have thought that he is actually a silver man? Why can't you get up in the morning?

"I'm old and can't remember something." The old beggar thought for a while and said, "If you have any fine wines at home, bring them here. Maybe after I drank them, I suddenly remembered them when I was happy."

Excessive drinking not only damages the liver, but also damages the kidneys. Tang Ning felt that the old beggar's kidneys would not be much better. He kept talking about the girls from the capital who were beautiful all day long. He was probably just trying to satisfy his cravings. He had no money and nothing. In terms of appearance, if you enter a brothel and don’t get beaten up, you still want to sleep with a girl and dream...

The young man thought for a moment, looked at him, and said, "Old man, wait here. I'll go back and get the wine and I'll be here right away."

The old beggar waved his hand and said, "No hurry, just remember to deliver it in the next two days."

After speaking, he looked at Tangning and said, "Teach him the secret to strengthening your kidneys."

After the young man was stunned for a moment, he looked at Tangning, as if he had met a close friend, and said in surprise, "Could it be that my brother is also..."

"I'm not."

The young man looked at him with a smile on his face and said, "I understand, I understand..."

"I really am not."

The young man frowned and said: "We are both from the end of the world, but it's boring for my brother to be so secretive..."

The old beggar waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, you two little chickens, please stop being humble to each other."

The young man looked at Tang Ning with an expression on his face.

He sat next to Tang Ning and asked, "Don't you know your brother's name?"

A virgin is a virgin, and being a virgin is not something to be ashamed of. He and this young master are completely different. Why is he looking like he has met a confidant?

The more he talked, the more confusing it became. Tang Ning didn't want to continue the question with him, so he said calmly, "Tang Ning."

"My name is Xiao Jue." The young man introduced himself and said to him, "Brother Tang, what secret book..."

Tang Ning shook his head and said, "I don't have it with me."

"It doesn't matter, just go back and get it." The young man named Xiao Jue looked at Tang Ning and asked, "Where is Brother Tang's home?"

"Lingzhou."

"..."

Tang Ning only kept the secret book for future use. After all, he just couldn't use his kidney for the time being, unlike this young master.

He thought for a moment and said, "I remember there is a prescription in it. I will write it down later. You can try it first. When the provincial exam is over, you can send someone to Lingzhou to get the secret book."

Although they are different in nature, he can understand his feelings. Being looked at with such strange eyes, the bitterness, can only be understood by those who have experienced it personally.

"Okay!" Xiao Jue nodded and said, "Today's meal is on my behalf."

The shopkeeper of Hongxiu Pavilion stood aside and said, "Young Master, today's meal is on my behalf. Just consider it as an apology to you."

Xiao Jue slapped the table, glared at him, and said, "I said I will treat you, so are you not giving me face?"

The shopkeeper could only take two steps back and said helplessly, "Then..., then listen to you, young master."

This was the first time Tang Ning had seen someone like Xiao Jue. Could he be the legendary dandy in the capital?

Xiao Jue picked up the chopsticks and looked at Tang Ning again, asking, "The second floor of Hongxiu Pavilion is never open to outsiders. How can you go up there?"

Hongxiu Pavilion is very famous in the capital. The shopkeeper behind the scenes has a deep background and is extremely mysterious. Even he is a little wary. Naturally, he is very curious about people who can break the rules of the pavilion.

Tang Ning thought for a while and said, "Because I know their shopkeeper."

Hongxiu Pavilion is the property of the Tang family. Mr. Tang and his father-in-law have been in a relationship for more than ten years. Zhong Yi and Tang Yaojing are as close as sisters. He and Tang Yaoyao are also close friends. They can be regarded as half-in-laws, so they are naturally treated differently from outsiders like them.

Xiao Jue glanced at the shopkeeper not far away, and said, "From now on, we are friends. If you encounter anything in the capital, just report my name..."

Tang Ning nodded politely, eating while enjoying the dance on the stage.

The women danced gracefully and their movements were seductive. Although they were not particularly revealing, they exuded a different kind of charm from head to toe, stirring people's heartstrings all the time.

This made him feel a little hot, so he put down his chopsticks, reached under the table with one hand, and straightened his robe.

Xiao Jue looked at him, then looked down at himself, a hint of joy appeared on his face, and whispered: "It really works!"
